Keeping in Step

Teams of the Gisborne Marching Association kept in step with the trend when they held a Marching Queen contest. Each team nominated a queen and two attendants and one cent votes were given by the public and supporters. Funds raised go towards each team's expenses and will be used for travelling and attendance at championships.
