Scottie Positions

Being a Scottie means being part of a team. Every girl in the corps has a place, whether she’s keeping the beat on the snare, sounding the bugle or leading the line as an officer. Most Scotties start as corps members, learning an instrument and marching alongside their sisters in parades, at games and in performances. Girls who want to take on more can grow into leadership roles over time. Below you’ll find each position in the Glendale Scotties.
