Baton- I have been twirling baton for almost 5 years now. I started when I was 9 years old. The group I twirl for is called Wanda's Cadettes. The studio is in west york and they now have one in red lion. I do everything there is to do in baton. I twirl in teams, individually and i do a class on Tuesday nights. Since i started to twirl individually, I have won many local competitions, one regional, and two states competitions. I have a private lesson with my teacher once a week for half an hour. I have gone to the nationals twice since i started, once for individual and twice for teams. As a group we go down to nationals every other year. Nationals is heald in the middle of nowhere (also known as Boiling Springs, North Carolina). When we have national practice for individuals we have practice everyday for 5-6 hours, For teams, I do about 2-3 teams every year. We have practice on Saturday mornings. and the competitions are normally on Sundays, all day. I think that baton is really fun. I have made a lot of new friends since I have started twirling. It is a lot of work, But I have fun with it. And yes, every now and then, i do get hit with the baton. Normally on the tips of my fingers, my arms, my feet, and my head.
