HISTORY

This team initially started out as Burlington Guards in 1993 as a midget team as they were then called.

The team was started by sisters leonie & Heidi MacDonald.  Leonie intially coached the team then Heidi took over  again herself.
Heidi continued coaching the team until 2003 when her neice Kellie MacDonald took over.

Kellie had marched in the first team as a 10 year old and after completing her under 16 grade then turned to coaching first the Kiwi Bears team in 1999 and then the under 12 (midget) team jointly with Heidi in 2003.

When Kellie took over we had the 2 teams Under 12 & Kiwi however in 2009 we stepped the under 12 team up to Under 16 and the Under 12 as they were all very new became a Fernz team plus the Kiwi team.

CURRENT

Kellie now coaches the Under 16 team herself with her mother Jennie MacDonald  managing the team along with the chaperone  Kristin Jones aswell.

Jennie also now coaches the Fernz and kiwi teams.  Last season we welcomed Heidi back as Kellie had a Baby she took the new under 12 team .

The team went through several different colour changes, Black & Blue initially then to red & green  under Heidi and then green & White Under Kellie. and Green and Gold for the Under 16s initially however they have also gone to green and white again..
