Name: Shawnta Nelson
School: McKinley HS
School Year: Junior
Location: Canton OH
Years Twirling: 2
Equipment Used:
fire batons, glowstick baton, sabers, knives, two batons, three batons, hoop
baton, flag baton, ribbons
Best Twirling Memory:
We had a really cute show planned for this song our director picked out
called "Rockin Robbin" we used boas and we had a really cute dance, all the
majorettes did a really good job and the crowd really loved it!!!!!
Most Embarrassing Moment:
When we went to Ciccinatti for an away game, the show statred off bad
in the first place because the ground was all muddy from a recent rain. The band
sounded horrible and the majorettes were doing an equally horrible job, we
weren't dropping, but our routine looked sloppy and unpraticed, I guess every
band has those days, the only people who were doing good was our football team,
we were winning!!!! So, I went to do my toss cartwheel and my hand slipped. I
had to move fast to stop myself from falling.Some girls who were from the rival
school were talking about me-- saying things like:"She almost fell on her
head!!! I think they were just mad because they lost!!!!!!
Favorite Twirling Activity:
I love to do pep rallys and halftime shows because before I was a
twirler, I was a ballet dancer, I was also in every kind of dance imaginable so
I am just a natural entertainer. Plus I'm a ham and I love to have the attention
of 10,000 fans, it gives me an adrenaline rush.
Future Plans:
I want to go on to college to pursue education and further my majorette
carrer I don't plan on going to any college that doesn't have majorettes. I also
want to open up a baton twirling studio of my own so I can bless other little
girls with the gift of baton.
