~ next squad ~


~ Marshall University ~

Marshall University, located in Huntington WV, is Home of the Thundering Herd. The Marching Thunder's majorette squad has two feature twirlers, but no set squad size. This year there are nine twirlers.

The squad, displaying the school colors of green and white, performs in all the pre-game and halftime shows, marching in the homecoming parde and performing at a bowl game and exhibitions.

The squad uses Sharp Baton for their equipment which, in addition to batons, includes swords and flag batons. Expected skills include: all illusions, high toss cartwheel, 3 spin, flyaway, fishtails, 2 baton, knives, 2 spin blind, growing 2 spin.

In order to audition, you must first register online and then show up at the tryout where you will learn a one baton and two baton routine. You find out that day whether or not you made the squad.
