Dagenham 'Part 2 Report
All three SK Guards were in competition at the second contest to be held in Dagenham during the 2001 season.
The Rugrats were up against 5 other units in the Cadet Class and had added a new ending plus more flag work. Another excellent performance by the 17 members and an increased score since the previous Dagenham contest but a little disappointed not to move up the rankings.
The Cadets, in the Junior Class, once again got the audience on their side with their bubbly Summertime production. A good solid performance by the members kept them in their seeded position of 3rd, against 5 others.
Into the Open Class and the Senior Guard seemed to lack that little something that has helped keep their show near the top three. Whilst staying in 4th Place, and still within sight of the medals, they were caught up slightly by the chasing pack of Guards below them.
The Senior Guard are in competition again in 2 weeks in Sheffield while the Juniors and Rugrats are now preparing for the British Colour Guard Championships in Birmingham on Sunday 25th March
