Personal Routine: You must perform a 2-3 minute routine to music of your choice. It must consist of one, two, three baton and a prop.  Personal routine must also contain each of the 7 required elements listed above.

On-the-Spot Routine: A routine will be taught to all twirlers.  This routine will consist of sequences and tricks we would normally perform.  The purpose of this routine is to determine your ability to learn and retain twirling routines quickly.  Each twirler will then perform this routine in front of the judges in small groups.
