The Twirler's Creed
The contest last for moments
though the training taken years
It wasn't the winning alone
that was worth the work and tears
The applause will be forgotten
the prize misplaced
But the long hard hours of practice
will never be a waste
For in trying to win you build a skill
You learn that winning depends on will
You never grow by how much you put in
So in any new challenge you've just begun
Put forth your best and you've already won
You Know You're A Twirler When...
A long skinny object that finds it's way into your fingers gets twirled around.
When someone mentions the animal "Cougar", you think of your twirling shoes.
You are the only one in your school that has calloused and cracked hands.
In Ballet class you can do pirouettes better to the left then the right (and no one else knows why).
At your school dance you unconsciously do an illusion in the middle of your groovin'.
While watching a movie you are always occupied by listening to the soundtrack ("This song would be great for a show-twirl!").
