Spotlight

Besides the awards earned during a competition, the Southeast Area
Twirlers Competition Soloists and Team Members have the chance to earn
additional studio awards based upon their membership and participation
during the competition year. These awards are presented at the Summer
Awards Assembly.

The Southeast Area Twirlers compete in a variety of organizational contests
including NBTA, TU, AAU, WTA, DMA, and USTA. Their primary
competition organization is NBTA, however twirlers also have membership in
AAU, TU, and USTA organizations. The instructors are very knowledgeable
regarding the rules and requirements of various twirling organizations and
seek to uphold the integrity for which the organizations are based. All
twirlers have TWIRLING LOGS for each organization under which they
compete. These logs allow them to keep track of their wins and level status
for every event and every organization for which they compete.

The twirlers are very pleased to be able to compete in all area competitions.
The twirlers compete locally as well as on the state, regional, and national
levels. Competition soloists and team members put in many hours of hard
work in order to travel and compete in these contests. We are very proud of
all of our competition students!!
