Lisa Munzert Bonacquisti This is fabulous!!!!!!!!! I haven't seen any of this information at competitions - I thankfully came across the web site...I will be forwarding my membership to you soon, and would like to see this become a reality!!!! Unfortunately, without something like this - many talented twirlers leave twirling for sports when they get to the high school level so that they can vy for scholarship...... Question: Are the Olympic games next????? I think what you are doing is great!!!! Twirlers work hard and deserve
the same respect that athletes get. Keep up the good work! I think it is GREAT that this organization has been formed. I would
love to help. My daughter is 10 and has been twirling for 4 years. She
LOVES it, even with the pressure of all her other friends take just dance
lessons. The girls here can not get into twirling because they see no
future in it. I have had mothers ask me what is she going to do with
the twirl ability? The HS band director here told me "the day I
have a baton twirler in my band is the day I quit!" He told me it
was an "outdated" sport. At least he recognized it as a sport.
I think band director need to get an education in the sport! He is not
the only one in our county with that mentality. What can we do? Thanks
for all you are doing! Hi,
Hi! I am the proud mother of a 7 year old baton twirler with the Tennessee
Twirlers, Inc. She is so very enthusiastic about her twirling and never
complains about the workshops and 'twirl days' that she has to attend...in
fact she never wants to leave those events as she is having so much fun.
In fact, she has told me that she wants to be a 'teacher' in baton! I think this is a Great and I look forward to the advancement of Baton Twirling Thank you Mary Prohm MFProhm@Hotmail.com 2032 Inverway (APTC) Kalamazoo, MI 49009 Gina, Giggle413@aol.com, Ny , 11703 Hey, My name is Maggie Belew. I am 11 yrs. old and I live in Greenfield, TN. My e-mail is twirler93@bellsouth.net. I would love to make Twirling a college and Olympic sport. I am a competitive twirler. I compete on the advanced level in DMA and USTA. I also compete in DMA alot and am in the Intermediate level there. Maggie Belew I am so glad to see this organization doing so much. I have been twirling
since I was 3 years old and use to dream of something like this happening.
I hope that future twirlers have the opportunities that many of us never
had. I am very impressed that someone is taking the initiative to make
this happen. Great job and great website. I enjoyed looking through it. Amy Bunn 1431 Pawtucket Blvd. #15 I am very glad to hear of an organization that is looking to help the DEBBIE ARNOLD I PRESUME MY DEAR PAL RM IS READING THIS. ANYWAY, NO MATTER WHAT JOYCE
SAYS I AM FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS PROGRAM. TELL ME WHERE TO SEND MY
CHECK. I ENDORSE ESPECIALLY GETTING STARTED AS EARLY AS NEXT JANUARY
AND I LOVE THE WORK SO FAR ENDORSING EQUITY BETWEEN TECHNIQUE AND ARTISTIC
MERIT. I ARGUED FOR THAT APPROQACH WAY BACK IN THE MID 70'S. FOR A WHILE,
NBTA EVEN HAD A 4 CAPTION, 25-25-25-25 SCORE SHEET..BUT THE EFFORT MET
GREAT RESISTANCE FROM JUDGES WHO HAD LEARNED HOW TO MULTIPLY 16.5 X 5
AND COULD NOT ADJUST TO A NEW SYSTEM. THAT WAS A BIG MISTAKE BUT DON
DESERVES HUGE, HISTORICAL CREDIT FOR ACCEPTING MY IDEA AND DEVELOPING
THE 50/50 SCORE SHEET AND GIVING IT A FIELD TRY. ANYWAY...I WILL SOON
COMPLETE THE PROFESSIONAL SURVEY AND WANT TO VOLUNTEER NOW AS A JUDGE
A THE JANUARY EVENT. BY THE WAY, I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET STARTED
ON THE RIGHT FOOT BY HAVING A MINIMUM OF 2 JUDGES PER LANE. WE HAVE PLENTY
OF SKILLED JUDGES NOW TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE WHERE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
IMPOSSIBLE YEARS AGO. Julienne Close jewelclose@msn.com Penny Jardine, 3501 Sumpter Street, Lansing, MI 48911 517-882-2769 My email address is Jsnoopypj@aol.com. I think this is a great idea. It promotes twirling at a level that has been needed/wanted for many years. Great idea. Thank you to Sandi Wiemers for making the dream of so many, to have
baton twirling recognized for the tremendous sport that it is, come closer
to fruition through all of her tireless efforts. Having attended the
meeting in Chicago as the coach of the Villanova University twirlers,
I am in utmost awe of all that has happened since that early meeting. PO Box 242, Oaks, Pa. 19456 Phone and Fax (610) 933-2074 Hi! What a great idea since other women’s sports have become more popular because of the adoption of Title 9. Also, I think your web site is rather classy. |
