MARCHING Although marching is a fairly new sport, it commands a large following, and it is good to see so many Maori girls taking part in such a healthy sport, and one which has such a good influence on deportment. Two Maori girls are in the Whangarei Grenadiers, a team which won the New Zealand marching championships at Dunedin on March 6. They are Misses Beverley McLean and A. Malcolm. Miss Malcolm, who is the Grenadier leader, also retained the New Zealand champion leader title. The only all-Maori marching team known to Te Ao Hou is the Taihoa Marching Team at Wairoa. Although it has existed only since last August, it has done well in competitions. Miss Hine Karaurai, leader of the team, says that the girls train from 5.30 to 7 every morning and night. We wish them the best of luck.
