Years Twirling: 2

Equipment Used:
fire batons, glowstick baton, sabers, knives, two batons, three batons, hoop baton, flag baton, ribbons

Best Twirling Memory:
We had a really cute show planned for this song our director picked out called "Rockin Robbin" we used boas and we had a really cute dance, all the majorettes did a really good job and the crowd really loved it!!!!!

Most Embarrassing Moment:
When we went to Ciccinatti for an away game, the show statred off bad in the first place because the ground was all muddy from a recent rain. The band sounded horrible and the majorettes were doing an equally horrible job, we weren't dropping, but our routine looked sloppy and unpraticed, I guess every band has those days, the only people who were doing good was our football team, we were winning!!!! So, I went to do my toss cartwheel and my hand slipped. I had to move fast to stop myself from falling.Some girls who were from the rival school were talking about me-- saying things like:"She almost fell on her head!!! I think they were just mad because they lost!!!!!!

Favorite Twirling Activity:
I love to do pep rallys and halftime shows because before I was a twirler, I was a ballet dancer, I was also in every kind of dance imaginable so I am just a natural entertainer. Plus I'm a ham and I love to have the attention of 10,000 fans, it gives me an adrenaline rush.

Future Plans:
I want to go on to college to pursue education and further my majorette carrer I don't plan on going to any college that doesn't have majorettes. I also want to open up a baton twirling studio of my own so I can bless other little girls with the gift of baton.
