U.S.T.A. Oregon Baton Council

NEW for 2009!

Juggling & 3-Baton Trick Meet

We are excited about this new Foundation Event. Like for regular trick meet, twirlers will perform different tricks for a judge. The focus of these tricks will be the development of 3-baton skills, starting with beginning juggling. Good luck to all twirlers who are working to expand their handling skills by taking on this new challenge! Click here for details.

It is part of the foundation events (marching and presentation). It uses the same music as presentation. This event is designed as an introductory event to encourage twirlers who want to start twirling two batons.

This event was new in 2006. It is part of the foundation events (marching & presentation). It uses the same marching music. Twirlers perform a "parade" routine, marching and twirling at the same time.

Explanation: Perform 32 counts of a Parade routine to the Basic Strut marching music. You may enter individually or with a partner (pairs).

(1) Hold during the 8 count introduction.

(2) March in place while twirling.

(3) Remain in step.

(4) End with the music at attention or in a pose.

Lawn Chairs at Competitions

(This isn't new, but it bears repeating) Sorry folks. The policy of most of the schools that we rent is that for fire safety reasons, we can't have audience members sitting in their own folding lawn chairs in the gyms. We suggest that you look into the padded, supported bleacher chairs available at most sporting goods stores. Accommodations will be made for handicapped fans, however.
