Meet the Leaders Team
Below are details on our Leaders Team and ways in
which you can get in contact with them.
Dennisha Simmons
Leader & Manager
Having your Leaders describe themselves and their experience can be inspiring, and also quite interesting to see how far they have come, and how they feel about being a part of PHCMDC today. We asked Dennisha to introduce herself to you, the reader. Here is what she shared.....
​
"My name is Dennisha Simmons aka Aunt Dennisha and I joined for 2005 Fall Term. I signed my daughters up for the 2005 Spring term that same year and became an active parent within the group. I was eventually approached to join the group as a Majorette with my daughters, and I've been a member ever since.😊 I worked my way up from a Diva Majorette to a Leader and I enjoy the time we take to gather our creative minds to build engaging and enjoyable routines.. It's a task but we make it happen and always seem to be able to"wow" the crowd. I look forward to getting back to twirling & teaching new and previous members every term."
​
Thank you Dennisha for your commitment and dedication to the PHCMDC Family.

Tiara Talbot
Leader
Here is someone that has been a member of the group for more than a decade. Tiara has been a majorette for 18 years, and began her membership with PHCMDC 14 years ago. When she started in 2008, her journey began in the Senior Diva Majorette section of the group and we have watched her grow in every way.
Tiara is one we would consider a well-rounded performer. She worked her way through various sections offered within the group that not only improved her twirling and dance resume, but highlighted how skillful and talented she is. She has performed in various parades as a Double Diva Majorette ( 2 baton twirler), Senior Diva Pom Pom, and a Drum Corps. Dancer.
Now as one of the Leaders of the group, which she so rightfully earned, Tiara prefers to be called Aunt Tiara, Tiara or Ti whichever members prefer.
Thank you Tiara for your dedication and commitment.
Anayah Curtis
Leader
Anayah, most referred to as 'Nyah' is a recent high school graduate, and has shown tremendous growth in all aspects. As a regular member of PHCMDC, Anayah shows up on time to almost every practice, and every performance since 2015 with a good spirit and willingness to learn every challenge we put forth to her. Not only is she a Majorette, she is a young entrepreneur who has her own Candy business called " Sweeties".

Anayah has been promoted from Assistant Leader to Leader of all sections. Here is what Anayah shared with us:
​​
"I have been a member of PHCMDC since 2014. Starting as a junior majorette I was able to learn new tricks and challenges to become the leader I am today. For the most part, I aim to help my auntie, Tawana Lee, to keep the tradition alive with my generation by dedicating my time to the group. I plan to assist PHCMDC with all future endeavors in anyway i can."
​​
It is more than a pleasure to have someone as dedicated and reliable to assist in leading the group through more exciting terms to come.

Taylor is a refreshing face to have as a part of the Leaders Team. She has shown her dedication and commitment to the group in many ways, and the Directors are confident in her ability to continue on as an integral part of the team.
​
Taylor has been a member since 2009 and in 2022 she was put in the position of Assistant Leader to work her way up to becoming a Full time Leader with the group. She can always be counted on to attend practices, fundraisers, and performances, and always goes the extra mile to assist where she can.

Kira-Taral Swan
Leader
Kira joined PHCMDC many years ago as a little girl. Even though she was shy, she accomplished her goal to participate in the Annual Bermuda Day Parade. She took a break from the group for a bit but then realized twirling was a passion of hers. She returned to the group in 2019 and in 2020 was promoted to the leader role. This encouraged her to pass on the passion, allowing her to be able to teach the next generation.
As an adult she's seen how important it is to keep the tradition of majorettes and drum corps alive. She does her best to stay committed to do whatever it takes to do so.
"Joining PHCMDC was one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made because to me we are more than just a group we are a FAMILY."

He has been a part of the group for many years as a Drummer, eventually working his way through completing the Future Leaders Programme and becoming an Assistant Drum Major.
