Hey, somebody thought to put a messageboard, so I might as well start it. I twirled competitively from 1977 to 1983, now I was big, but didn't care. Now that twirling organizations have no age limit, I am going back. My State NBTA contest director is a dear friend and she is all for it. Was going to USTA regionals this year but am having plastic surgery after. Am going to do "boys" (mens) solo l baton, 2 baton, strut, dance twirl, flag and rifle. Have two nieces starting and by next year at least one of them will be contesting. Am planning on going to USTA nationals next year in Savannah Georgia, it is near my sister. I always say, the best way to find out your standing is enter nationals and see how you place! Walter
