She bangs the drums.....well a marimba anyway

Justine Lloyd - Project Support for Capita Symonds’ Telecomms division in Cheadle Hulme – has won two major Drum Corp (an American style marching band) awards recently.

Every Saturday Justine (5th from left below) gets up at 0430am to travel from Poynton in the North West to Eastleigh in Hampshire (over 200 miles) to play the ‘Marimba’ (similar to a xylophone) in The Senators band.

The effort is certainly worth it as the team recently won the Drum Corp UK (DCUK) Championship for the eighth time.

What’s more, a week later they beat 20 teams from five countires to win the European Championships (DCE) in the Netherlands - the second year running they’ve won the award – 'drumming' up (sorry) a spectacular 90.20 points out of a 100 in the process.
