NASHTWIRL Contest Updates

It is NashTwirl week!

Athletes, Parents, & Coaches,

We are excited to welcome 120 athletes from 18 states to Nashville this weekend for our 3rd Annual NashTwirl Championships. Attached you will find the set system, with estimated times along the left side to help you plan your day.

Here are some important notes:

Contest location – White House Heritage High School (7744 Hwy 76, White House, TN); please use the address to get to the correct school – there is also a White House High School AND a White House Heritage Elementary (the elementary school is where NashTwirl was held in 2021 and 2022).

Central time zone – All times for the contest are Central time. Doors open at 8am, contest begins at 9am.

Music – If you are competing in a group or individual event and have not already sent your music, please send your music ASAP to tnbatoncouncil@gmail.com. We need to have time to organize music files and check to make sure all files play so you can have a smooth performance.

NashTwirl Cup – There were 28 entries in the 14-17 division, so this group has been separated into two divisions: 14 year olds and 15-17 year olds.

Smoky Mountain Sweetheart 14-17 – The 14-17 age division has been split into 14 years olds and 15-17 year olds due to a large number of entries.

Modeling hair – It is not necessary to have “modeling” hair for the costume modeling event; a competition bun is perfect. Athletes will be judged on modeling, not on hair. We will be moving quickly from modeling to foundation events, so there will not be time to transition from modeling hair to a competition bun.

Concessions – Concessions will be provided as a group fundraiser for travel to Liverpool for the IBTF Championships. We hope you will support this fundraiser. Please be respectful and do not bring in outside food or drink.

CAS events (compulsories & movement technique) – If you are doing compulsories or movement technique for evaluation – don’t forget your compulsory book. It is required! If you are doing compulsories for comments only – please be sure to tell your judge when you walk up to the table so they will know to give you recorded comments. You do not need your compulsory book if you are only receiving comments.

Before Arrival – download the Remind App – We will communicate a lot of information during the contest via the Remind App. This will help keep you updated, even if you are not in the gym. This information will be sent tomorrow in a separate email.

Play Baton Clinic – If you are interested in the Play Baton Clinic on Sunday (8am-2:30pm at White House Heritage High School), you can find more info and the registration form here: https://forms.gle/f12EWMZUSXTD3HAu7.

We are looking forward to an exciting weekend of baton twirling, fun, and friendship! If you have any questions, please email tnbatoncouncil@gmail.com.
