Southwest Regionals 2017... The Final Countdown!

Hello Texas Twirl Fans!

It is almost time for the big event. In only three days, twirlers from all over Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, will begin to travel to Canyon, TX for the 2017 Southwest Regional Championship and Miss Majorette of the Southwest pageant, which will occur on Saturday, April 1st and Sunday, April 2nd. As of Sunday night, we will have our first big title holders for the season, as well as have identified the first round of twirlers that will be representing from Texas in the National Pageants at AYOP in July. Who else is excited? I know I am!!!

Our wonderful Contest Directors - Gretta Johnson, Shelia Pierce, Brittany Ashcraft, and Summer Johnson - have shared a few important FYI's with the Twirling is Catching blog so that we can help spread the word to all those attending. A big thanks to the Directors for their awesome preparations and what we know will be a wonderful Regional Championship event. We hope this helps everyone with their weekend preparations!
