Some of our amazing Canterbury Teams’ are sharing their performances on social media.

This display is most definitely a toe tapping crowd pleaser. And it is also recognised as a judge pleaser too!!

Thank you Skellerup Marching Teams for sharing. It’s so nice seeing girls being given a lovely send off as they age out. All the best for a successful jump into the U18 grade ladies ❤️🖤❤️

We have had so much fun supporting our leisure friends at the Leisure Marching Nationals held right here in Christchurch ❤️🖤

Mainpower Stadium, Rangiora is where the fun is at! Have even spied some of our comp crew, Masters friends and even a couple of coaches being marshals 🫡

We have a merch stand if you feel like getting some sweet marching souvenirs. AND it looks like there has been some hard work going on out in the rain yesterday…… could it be……

DADS ARMY!!!!!

Have Your Say & Shape the Future of Our Sport

Be part of a new Membership Growth Working Group.

Marching New Zealand is inviting Expressions of Interest from passionate, energetic individuals who want to help grow our sport across Aotearoa.

We’re looking for people who don’t just have ideas, but are ready to turn those ideas into action within their regions, helping to build momentum, connect communities, and drive participation.

We are looking to increase awareness across New Zealand so we strongly encourage interest from our current Associations but also from those outside current structures, including individuals connected to regions where we’re looking to rebuild and strengthen participation—such as Manawatū, Nelson, and Northland.

We’re particularly looking for people who:
⚡ Are passionate about the future of marching
⚡ Have the time and energy to actively contribute
⚡ Are motivated to lead or support initiatives in their region
⚡ Can engage and inspire others to get involved
⚡ Bring fresh thinking and new perspectives

We also want to ensure we’re not overloading those already wearing multiple hats, and instead create space for new voices and emerging leaders to step forward.

📌 There are limited spaces on the working party, but there will be wider opportunities to be involved and support initiatives as they roll out.

👉 Submit your Expression of Interest via the Microsoft Form

🕔 Applications close 5pm – Friday 10th April 2026
Let’s work together to grow, strengthen, and future-proof our sport.
