Few activities provide a more
wholesome and worthwhile outlet
for the energies of today’s youth
than baton twirling. Sanctioned
twirling contests are largely
responsible for the growth,
development, and advancement of
twirling as a performance sport,
performing art, and beneficial
activity. Many of the keen traits
found in today’s twirlers can be
directly credited to their
participation in twirling
contests, i.e., physical fitness,
good sportsmanship, teamwork,
personality projection,
ambidexterity, and
self-confidence. Baton twirling
contests provide a place where
baton twirlers can join together
in friendly competition and share
common interests- while
participating in a program for
baton boosters and the public to
view. |
