More than 200 twirlers from across Florida will travel to Tampa to showcase their twirling talent in the 2011 Florida State Fair Baton Twirling Championships.
The competition begins at 9:00 A.M. February 19th in the Charles M. Davis Special Events Center, marking the eighth time the Florida State Fair hosts the championships. Participants range in age from five to adult and will be competing in various twirling categories, including fancy strut straight line, super X-strut, basic strut, military, solo, 2-baton, 3-baton and duets.
Entrants will be able to compete individually, or as members of a twirling group, and all middle and high schools are invited to bring their twirling teams to the competition.
“The twirling competition is open to the public and we hope to make people more aware of twirling as a sport,” said Lynann Hudson, committee member for the 2011 Baton Twirling Championships. “Because baton twirling is growing World-wide, hosting the competition at the Florida State Fair is a great way to let the public experience a very exciting event.”
The top three twirlers will be awarded gold, silver and bronze medals, and a special award will be presented to the Solo Twirl-Off Champions in the novice, beginner, intermediate and advance divisions. The top two groups competing will also receive trophies.
