 The Imps are the world's foremost youth display team. Founded 39 years ago, The Imps perform around the world and have thrilled crowds of thousands. The Imps display team is a section of The Impstart Trust, a charitable trust founded to help disadvantaged children by education through their leisure time activities, supporting them in main stream education and teaching them skills and discipline to take them through life. Please support their valuable work by booking the team, coming to a show or sponsoring us. |
The 'IMPS' is dedicated to educating children through, though not exclusively, their leisure time activities, this is delivered by a disciplined, dynamic and challenging programme of activities with a world-famous motorcycle display team at its heart.From the sound of revving engines to the awe of a billowing fire jump and the suspense of a multiple motorcycle combination ‘cross-over’ routine, The Imps will have you mesmerised by an unmissable display of discipline and skill. Furthermore, you will be stunned to learn that the youngest performer is only five years old! The Imps Motorcycle Display Team, noted for its impeccable smart red tunics and highly disciplined spectacular show originated in the 1970’s from The Hackney Adventure Holiday Project – a charity founded by Roy Pratt MBE that provided holidays in the country for under privileged young people. Some of the children found a dysfunctional old ‘motorbike’ – one thing led to another and a motorcycle display team, uniquely comprising young people aged six to sixteen, emerged. For nearly forty years The Imps have performed around the world to millions of people. Regular appearances on prime time television and displays at major events, such as The Edinburgh Military Tattoo, have secured a reputation for excellence. Extraordinary discipline and incredible teamwork enable The Imps to deliver shows comprising complex ‘cross-overs’ requiring split second timing, breathtaking fire jumps and visually stunning pyramids of red tunics – all served up with a dash of humour and aided by the spell-binding mini Imp mascots.

The City of Coventry Corps of Drums were formed in 1947 and have become one of the most famous and respected youth marching bands in the country. Appearances have taken them all over the UK as well as tours overseas to Belgium, Holland, Germany, Luxemburg, Switzerland, France and Norway. In 1983 they became the first non American corps to march in the prestigious Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, USA. The Corps consist of young men and boys aged from 9 to 21 with their uniform styled on that of Her Majesty's Royal Marines. The Corps has had the honour and distinction of playing for all of the senior members of the Royal Family including Her Majesty the Queen. All members of the Corps receive thorough training in all aspects of music and drill, and their repertoire includes ballads, traditional marches, classics and jazz, all performed in their own unique style and sound. The instrumentation consists of a full chromatic range of American sourced G bugles and a percussion section of drums, tuned percussion and keyboards. New musical numbers are learned during the winter months and committed to memory before being performed in arena displays, traditional marches, concerts and ceremonial fanfares. |

Sunday 6th June 2010 only - Nowadays the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is a household name and a national institution. Just about everyone will stop in their tracks as the familiar Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster three-ship formation appears overhead. But it wasn’t always that way... The modern BBMF was created from more humble beginnings, and though it paid the same mark of respect it did so under tight constraint. It has gone from being a loose collection of ‘obsolete types’ tucked away in the corner of various hangars, to caring for priceless assets of British aviation heritage with its own headquarters. Wg Cdr Peter Thompson dfc, then Station Commander at RAF Biggin Hill was primarily responsible for its formation. After gaining his wings in the summer of 1940, Peter flew Hurricanes during the Battle of Britain. |
