Quiwin Maasdorp, a 17-year-old drum majorette, is my name. I reside in the town of Paarl, which is close to Cape Town, the capital of the Western Cape. The preconceived notion of the sport drum majorette is erroneous.  Majorettes is the term used globally for drum majorettes. Majorettes is a sport in which a few props are used, including:

 

Pom (cheerleaders' tool)

Baton (the smallest stick, also frequently used in South Africa and abroad)

Mace (the prop used in South Africa and occasionally throughout in the world)

Flag (also known as banniers; used in South Africa)

 

2020 marked the beginning of my sport majorette career. I aspire to work as a majorette full-time after nearly five years of experience. I would never consider myself good at majorettes because everyone has a unique style that works for them.

 

I began learning how to use the prop mace during my time as a majorette. Although it has caused me blood and bruises, it has grown to be my favourite. In 2021, I achieved my WP colours. These are acquired through a series of challenges, and upon passing, one is eligible to represent their province in the National Championship.I pursued my SA colours in 2022 the following year. These are obtained by a series of more difficult exams, and if you pass them, you will once more represent South Africa in international competitions.

 

The SA team travelled to Croatia this year and got the opportunity to share their perspective on drummies with the world. 

I then take part in a variety of displays, including:

Mace group

Baton mini
