Brownies and Guides from across Hampshire have been honing their singing and acting skills as they prepare to showcase their talent at Southampton Guildhall.
In a few weeks’ time the youngsters from Romsey, Lockerley and Copythorne will join others from Southampton, Winchester and the New Forest on stage for their performance of Show Time, which has a theme of world travel this year.
Last week 140 girls tried on their costumes at the latest all-day rehearsal before learning how to apply their characters’ make-up.
Debbie Wyatt, chief of wardrobe, said: “They are going to perform an amazing show. The sewing team are well on the way to completing 540 costumes, taken from 290 metres of linen and cloth which we have adorned with over one mile of sequins and sparkles, so far.”
The cast of Show Time take to the 1,700-seat venue from April 10 for a four-day run.
