Unique Feature: The competition is centrally located in the southwest region and held on The West Texas A&M University campus with state of the art facilities. The Southwest Regional Competition has been family ran by the Pierce and Johnson family on a rotation basis since 1984.

Highlighted Event: Southwest Regionals has many very special traditions. There are two traveling trophies at this event that are in memory of two important people to the twirling community.  The College Miss Majorette of the Southwest is awarded the Tony Pierce Memorial Award. This award was started in 2008 by Janice Jackson Seamands and supported by the Pierce/Johnson/Ashcraft/Mayben Families. The Teenage Miss Majorette of the Southwest is awarded the Shane Downey Memorial Trophy.  This award was started in 2012 by the Mickey and Payne Families.  Both are very prestigious awards and a special part of the Southwest Regional Championships.


Message from the Directors: The Johnson family looks forward to having everyone back in Canyon, TX! Thank you for your continued support!
