What do we do?

Devon Dynamite Majorettes is a self funded, non profit majorette troupe based in Exeter. However they compete in competitions all over Devon as well as taking part in Fetes, Displays, Parades, Carnivals and other special events around the county.
When competing in competitions we enter 3 different age groups.

Tiny Tots are aged from 4 to 8 years old.
Juniors are aged from 8 to 12 years old.
Seniors are aged from 12 to 21 years old.




TRAINING
  • Military & Pom Pom

    We train for all of our routines on Monday and Wednesday evenings at Whipton Barton Junior School.
    On a Monday Evening we would train and practise our routines for Military and Pom Pom. Tiny Tots (age 4 to 8) would start at 5:30pm  and Juniors (age 8 to 12) would start at 6:00pm. Both Tiny Tots and Juniors would then be dismissed and finish at 7:30pm.
    The Seniors (age 13 to 21, year 9 and above) would then train from 7:30pm through to 9 o'clock.


  • Baton Twirling

    On Wednesday Evening we train for our Baton Twirling routines. This is again held at Whipton Barton Junior School with the Tiny Tots training from 6:00pm until 7:00, then Juniors from 7:00 until 8:00, and Seniors from 8:00 until 9:00.


Diciplines
Each one of the age groups within our troupe compete in 3 different disciplines, the first being a Military routine where the majorettes would learn a choreographed marching routine involving various formations, baton movements, footwork and most importantly discipline and timing.
The Second routine each age group would perform would be a Pom Pom routine, which is a choreographed dance routine with Pom Poms.
The third routine is Baton Twirling routine which is also a choreographed dance routine only this time it has the added difficulty of twirling and throwing their batons.
