PORTFOLIO

At five, Dernika

Williams is the

youngest member

of the drum majorettes

team. She practises

constantly during

class breaks.

Girls who become drum

majorettes early tend to

form a support structure of

strong friendships, says Mann.

Twins Carly and

Cayla Marsh have

been involved in

the sport since early

primary school.
