“I am absolutely delighted for Jorja. It is a tremendous achievement for her to be crowned the new Scottish Junior Drum Major. These are highly competitive competitions, and it is great that we have a local winner from Upper Bann taking the crown as Champion.
A huge amount of work goes into reaching this level as a Drum Major, and this success is testament to the dedication, hard work and skill that Jorja possesses, and her commitment to the role of Drum Major.
