SPORTSMANSHIP.
THE M&M SWEETIES ARE UNDER THE INSTRUCTION OF MISSIE LISS. I HAVE WON 2500
AWARDS IN MY 15 YEARS OF COMPETITIVE TWIRLING. ONE OF BATON TWIRLING'S MOST
PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS, I CAPTURED IN 1981, "JUNIOR MISS MAJORETTE OF AMERICA". I
ORIGINALLY CAME FROM MICHIGAN WHERE I WON "MISS MAJORETTE OF MICHIGAN,
1975-1981. AFTER MOVING TO FLORIDA, I BECAME MISS MAJORETTE OF FLORIDA,
1982-1984, FLORIDA STATE STRUT AND SOLO CHAMP, WORLD TWO-BATON CHAMPION,
WON THE TALENT AWARD IN THE MISS TEEN PAGEANT, AND WAS SIXTH IN THE NATION. I
WAS ALSO CHOSEN TO REPRESENT THE U.S. IN BATON TWIRLING IN PERU, SOUTH
AMERICA IN 1981. I COMPLETED MY COMPETITIVE TWIRLING AFTER GRADUATING FROM
JOHN CARROLL HIGH SCHOOL IN 1984. I HAD TWO FULL TUITION PAID SCHOLARSHIPS
FROM BOSTON AND IOWA COLLEGES, BUT I CHOSE TO BEGIN MY TEACHING CAREER
INSTEAD HERE IN PORT ST. LUCIE. I HAVE BEEN TEACHING PRIVATELY AND GROUPS
FOR 24 YEARS. I AM A LICENSED TEACHER AND JUDGE IN THE NBTA TWIRLING FIELD. I
HAVE TAUGHT SEVERAL YOUNG LADIES WHO OVER THE YEARS HAVE ACHIEVED MANY
TITLES AND WAS FEATURE MAJORETTES FOR THE FLORIDA GATORS AND THE FLORIDA
STATE SEMINOLES. I ALSO KEEP VERY BUSY BEING HAPPILY MARRIED WITH MY HUSBAND
OF 9 YEARS. I ALSO MAY A VERY BUSY MOM OF TWIN 16 YEAR OLD BOYS, TYLER AND
TAYLOR AND A 7 YEAR OLD BOY, JEFFREY.
BATON TWIRLING IS AN ART AND A SPORT, WHICH IS FUN AND EXCITING TO DO AND TO

YEARLY REGISTRATION FEE OF $25 TO ME IN SEPTEMBER WHEN THE SEASON BEGINS.

THEIR ARM TO GET THE CORRECT SIZE THE FIRST WEEK OF CLASS. BATONS ARE $23.
UNIFORMS WILL NOT NEED TO BE ORDERED UNTIL THE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER. THEY
