Continuity in leadership
Adrià Calvet and Yasmina Armesto have decided to extend their term at the helm of the Colla Jove Xiquets de Tarragona, despite having completed two seasons. Its re -election materialized during an extraordinary assembly held on February 23, where they obtained a resounding support with 104 votes in favor and only 6 against.
Ambitious goals for the future
With a look in the third year of leadership, Calvet has set very ambitious goals, including the intention to unload the 5de9 with lining and the 4de9 with lining and the needle. These structures were pending the previous year, and the team seeks to complete successfully in the new season.
Beyond classic castles
In addition to the aforementioned milestones, the gang intends to consolidate its presence with the basic castles of 9, intensify the rehearsals for 3de10 with lining and handles, and explore other constructions such as 9de8, 2de8 without lining, as well as The possibility of performing simultaneously on 3 and 4de9 with lining.
A year of changes and innovations
Armesto, as a new president, faces a period that is expected to be less socially moved after the celebrations for the 45th anniversary. Despite this, the gang has scheduled a prominent performance at the Magdalena de Castellón festivals, which will take place last weekend in March. In 2025, the Board also aims to improve the management of the premises and continue the digitalization of the archive.
