Tyrone indoor majorettes

By Meridith McManis

 

The 2012-2013 season for the indoor majorettes began in mid-September. Competitions will be held beginning in December and the season will end with the annual trip to Wildwood, NJ for the Chapter championship. The instructor of the group is Skip Headings for his 2^nd year and he is very excited to start up another great year with his twirlers.

Headings said “my goal for the season is to work hard and improve in every aspect of twirling”. Heading has said that he had some ideas for this year’s show, including an artistic piece of music with lots of colors and twirling tricks. Headings likes to set personal and team goals for the season and have all the twirlers improve year by year.

Headings enjoys working with the Tyrone majorettes be “because of the hard work and dedication I have seen over the years at Tyrone”. Headings is a teacher at Bellefonte and coaches cheerleaders there as well.

The majorettes practice for two hours a week until November then the twirlers will practice 4 hours a week. The twirlers compete in competitions every Saturday. The date for the preview show has not yet been scheduled but will be soon.

After all the majorettes have gone through all the competitions and the chapter champions, the group takes a trip to Wildwood, New Jersey. This is where the Tyrone majorettes get to compete in their division and hopefully bringing back the gold! So let’s wish the Tyrone majorettes to go far in this year’s competition.
