Mixed Fortunes at Dagenham
Once again all three Knights Guards were in action - this time at the Goresbrook Leisure Centre in Dagenham, Essex on Sunday 18th February.
After the success at Burgess Hill hopes were high for the Rugrats and they were up against 7 other units. The 17 members, once again, put on an excellent performance with an extra piece at the end which really was tear jerker. Although one judge put them a close joint second the other placed them down in fourth place which, once totaled together actually put them in 4th Place overall.
The Cadet Guard were not quite a 'bouncy' as in previous performances but still got the audience clapping along to their fun summer show. Competing against 5 other units the Guards score improved well but they actually dropped a place into 3rd. It is still quite close at the top of this class and so all to play for. Well done to Laura on her first performance.
Although having to make forced changes the Senior Guard are continuing to improve their show and held their position today. Performing against 5 other units their score increased nicely on the previous show and the Guard kept their seeded position being placed 3rd.
Off to Holland for the Cadets and Seniors next weekend and then a week later all three Guards are back to Dagenham again.
