Huge congratulations to Ruby in 8A, who took part in her first Winter Guard UK competition on Sunday in Stoke and what a debut it was!

Ruby was part of a team of nine young performers aged between 10 and 13. This was their first time competing in the Junior League, having moved up a level due to one team member turning 13. That meant they were up against teams with performers aged 16 and 17, a tough challenge by any measure.

Despite this, the team performed brilliantly and finished in bronze position, far exceeding expectations and showing incredible confidence, teamwork and determination.

With competitions coming up in Liverpool, Leeds, and the World Finals in Worcester this April, this is an amazing start to their season.

Well done, Ruby! We’re so proud of you and wish you and your team the very best in the competitions ahead!
