Cork City majoretts 1982 

1982 was a good year, one of my favourites in fact! The music fits in perfectly with this superb video!

I'm in the Mayfield majorettes next to the pig marching..that was 43 years ago..Happy day's.

Brilliant piece of film! Great reminder of the shops we used to have on Patrick Street too :-) From the depths of my memory, I think the girls in navy and white at the very start were the Glen troupe, but I can't be sure. There were LOADS of troupes in Cork, and every year there were more of them in the Patrick's Day parade.

Thanks, pugs1970! I remember the Mayfield troupe, but had forgotten that Knocknaheeny had one as well.

There was no one like the Hollyhill Baton Twirlers from Cork City Northside!! They were simply the best troupe on the island! The Majorettes are still around, however many clubs have evolved into Baton Twirling!! The sport was founded by the Baton Twirling Sport Association of Ireland! for more info find them on Facebook!! Many Happy Years I had!!

I know it was great for those involved but omg it was so boring for those looking on. Ruined the st patricks day parade for years.Miles and miles of majorettes dancing out of sync! The videos provide good memories though for thos involved.

Such bizarre practises.

Creepy shit
