City of Tauranga Marching

When Nicole was little my sister Christine lived with us. Christine belonged to a marching team called City of Tauranga in the under 16 grade. She marched for a number of years and came 3rd at the New Zealand Nationals in 2000.

Nicole brought home a school notice which included information on a new marching team being formed in the under 12 grade. Its called City of Tauranga. Its coached by a lady called Tracey who, and whose mother, marched for Christine's old coach. She used to have an under 12 City of Tauranga team a few years before Christine marched, but gave it up to have a family. Now her daughters are at an age where they want to march. So shes back again.

I talked it over with Nicole who was super mega keen and gave Tracey a call. We're going to take a look at one of their practices on Wednesday. The only problem is going to be my work. The practices are from 5pm till 7.15pm. But I finish work at 5pm and don't get to Hometime to collect Nicole till around 5.30pm. There is another child from Nicole's school who is in the team, so there may be a possibility of her mother taking Nicole and me picking up both children and dropping the other one at home. We shall see how it goes on Wednesday.
