The Billerettes are a marching band with a difference, apart from our mascot and the occasional girl the rest of the team may dress like girl majorettes, may even look like girl majorettes, if viewed in semi-darkness with the light behind. But they are most definitely men.

The guys are out to show that they can do it better, well at least they hope to bring a smile to the faces of the onlooker and preferably a good old belly laugh.

Over 36 years ago Billerette founder and leader, Bill Weston was watching a carnival parade pass by in his hometown of Buxton, Derbyshire. He soon found himself plunging into the depths of depression by the apathy on the faces of the column after column of girl Majorettes and girls Morris teams that paraded by. They had obviously forgotten what carnival is meant to be, fun, fun, fun. Bill decided that a change was needed and felt confident that men could show the girls just what entertainment is all about.

That was the start of what has become a LEGEND IN THEIR OWN LIFETIME.
With now 397 people having been a Billerette and over 950 performances.
