Baton twirling can be more than just a fun, fitness-oriented hobby: it can also be a ticket to college. Twirling scholarships are becoming more and more common as schools seek out performers to wow audiences during halftime shows. Want to be a part of a college twirling team? Here's our advice on how to land that coveted spot: Audition Video For most applications, you will have to submit an audition video. This short video should show off a couple of your best twirling moments in a variety of styles and performance settings. Coaches look for versatility and adaptability, so try to bring out those qualities when putting together your video. You should also record a short introduction to your video to tell the viewer who you are, what position you're going for, and maybe a little bit about yourself. Don't forget to check the requirements of the school you're applying to to make sure you include all the elements they ask for. In-Person Auditions If the programs you apply to like your audition video, they may invite you to audition for their team in person. When preparing for a college twirling program audition, picking the right music is essential. If you land a spot on the team, you're going to be performing in the energized environment of college game days, so you should audition with an upbeat track that creates that atmosphere. Be sure that your music and routine highlight both your twirling and dancing skills, and double-check the time limit set by the school so you don't plan a routine you can't finish. If you want to be a college twirler, putting together the perfect video and practicing an incredible routine can get you there.
