Club Achievements
Below are some of the club achievements recorded to date:
1967 - Buffalo Gals officially named in honour of Regina’s Buffalo Days celebration. Prior to 1967, the Buffalo Gals performed under the name Prairie Maids, Twirling Teens and Johnson Jets and took part in local events. A “BIG” trip to Winnipeg or Calgary was the highlight of the year.
Even then, the philosophy of group interaction with your competitive peers was utilized to keep the Martin School students “at the top”. The standard was being set for Saskatchewan and as our horizon broadened, so did the accomplishments. The groundwork was laid for today’s champions and Stars of Tomorrow.
