Susan as a National Champion in 1986

I began twirling baton at the ripe ol' age of three after my mom found an ad in the local newspaper. I still remember the day that she asked me if I would like to perform in parade and go to competitions. "Yes! Of course!" I said. Little did I know what an impact the sport would have on my life.

Kelly, Danielle, Allison and Susan
After 15 years of training as a majorette, I took two years off to recharge. I'm now twirling with three awesome girls, Kelly, Danielle and Allison. They have helped make my senior year memorable.

There's no feeling quite like the exhilaration that I experience when I'm on the football field. We work HARD to make the half-time show happen, and when the majorettes pull it off with a "no drop" performance, we're on top of the world.

We had the unfortunate luck of getting soaked during a majority of the Saturdays that home football games were scheduled. We managed to stay dry with your standard ponchos!
