We are on to another weekend of twirling with many of our Texas twirlers performing at either Twirl Mania or the North Texas Valentine's Twirling Festival. Good luck to everyone competing!
Make sure to keep your eyes on the entries due for the March competitions as they are coming up quick. This contest is especially important as it occurs on my birthday, and if you know me, you know there is no way I would rather spend my birthday than at a contest! Hope to see you all there!
Today for our Contest Calendar Series we will be discussion the 2017 Spring Fling Twirling Competition.
*DEADLINE THURSDAY* Please note that the deadline for this competition is Thursday, February 23rd. You must have your entries postmarked by this date. Click here to download the entry form. For more information, please contact the contest director at vickiray911@charter.net.
Who? what? When? Where? Why?
Who: Contest Director, Vicki Ray, and Contest Host, the V.R. Eaton Sapphires Drill Team.
What: 2017 Spring Fling Twirling Competition
When: Saturday, March 11th, 2017. Doors open at 8:00 am. Contest begins at 9:00 am.
Where: V.R. Eaton High School, 1350 Eagle Blvd, Haslet*, Texas 76052
*PLEASE Note: Your GPS may locate the HS in Fort Worth, not Haslet, but the zip is the same.
Why: The Spring Fling Competition is a great NBTA contest that serves as a perfect warm up for the Southwest Regional Competition occurring only 3 weeks later. Contestants from all over Texas, as well as other states, will join us March 11th to compete in front of licensed NBTA judges.
Facility Note: VR Eaton High School is the same location where the 2016 NBTA Southwest Regional competition was held. Most of the pictures included in this blog post are from that competition to show the facility. The school is very new with wonderful facilities including plenty of bleacher space, super high ceilings, and great practice gyms. (Above = competition gym. Below = practice gyms and gym entrance).
CONTEST HASHTAG: #springflingtwirl2017
For this event we strongly encourage our Texas twirlers to utilize the hashtag #springflingtwirl2017 when posting photos of this competition on social media.
History of this Event: The Spring Fling contest is a long-standing Fort Worth tradition. The only thing new is the location. Last year was the first time to use this facility for the 2016 NBTA Southwest regional competition and working with the V.R. Eaton Sapphires Drill Team was seamless. They are a group of hard working young ladies.
Unique Feature: The awards for this event are very nice and include tiaras, trophies, and banners, as well as great Spring Fling medals. This contest will not have a formal awards presentation. All awards will be posted due to the number of contestants and because the director recognizes that some parents have a long drive home, and we want everyone to have a safe trip. The Pageant winners WILL have their picture taken with their awards after they pick them up at the trophy table.
Any Last Comments: This contest has consistently been concluded by 5:00, and we will try our best to do the same this year. Hooray for an efficient contest!
