The Majorettes

2/1/2015

The Majorettes have been busy in the offseason! In addition to playing their instruments in class, the girls have been to visit the University of Pittsburgh Majorettes twice and this weekend volunteered at the Woodlands, a non-profit dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults with disability and chronic illness. Awesome girls!
