Hello Texas Twirl Fans!
Welcome to the third year we are offering this very special feature for the Twirling is Catching Blog! We know senior year is a very exciting time for many twirlers, but it is also a little nerve wracking as twirlers try to decide which University to select. While this is already a hard decision, when you have a dream of twirling on the collegiate level, it adds an addition level of pressure for picking the right place. There are also many current college students that may be deciding between auditioning at their school or other schools. So many choices! Our goal with this feature is to present as much audition information for Texas universities in one place as possible to at least make the process of knowing how to audition easier for our Collegiate twirler hopefuls.
If you have any information to update any of these listings, or have information for a University not listed, please email
texastwirlcontact@gmail.com. We will be posting a follow-up posts to this one as new information and updates become available.
We also hope to be able to announce many of the Twirler selections for these Universities as the decisions are made, so make sure to stay tuned! You can always follow us here, but to make sure you are notified every time there is a new post, we also have a Facebook Page at
www.facebook.com/twirlingiscatchingtx, and can be found on Instagram @twirlingiscatchingtx.
