The Force are pleased to announce a new member of our elite team, Louise Smiton.
Louise has performed with The Force at several events over the past year and we are delighted that she has accepted our invitation to become part of our elite team of Champion Drum Majors.
Louise is the current 2024 World Juvenile Champion and 2024 British Juvenile Champion, which follows her success in 2023 as European Juvenile Champion. Louise has also obtained many other accolades over the years including being crowned Ulster Champion and Northern Ireland Champion of Champions.
Louise started out as a Drum Major at the age of 6 years old and began competing when she was 7 years old. When asked how she felt when being offered a place in the elite team, Louise said “I am delighted to become a member of the Force elite team. It’s such an exciting opportunity and I’m looking forward to the future with a great team!! I screamed with excitement when I was asked”.
The Force founder Senior Drum Major Paula Braiden said “Its great to have Louise part of our elite team, from the very moment she put her name forward for an event, she came with the preparations needed, was enthusiastic and on her first event and thereafter comes with the complete routine learned from video and steps right into place. Louise shows excitement, commitment and a determination to work hard, she walked into an already strong team that has existed for a long time and fits perfectly.
Team work is everything within The Force, and as it continues to grow, we are delighted to see Louise form great friendships and share in the excitement of our first international gig, which is only a few weeks away for New York Tartan Week.
