Uniforms play an important role in baton twirling. You can purchase basic outfits for practice, but it’s a good idea to think about the uniform you are going to wear for professional performances. More importantly, you need to make sure the uniform offers breathability, and is good for physical activity.
Are you twirling for a school or team? If so, the team might have their own regulations, or specific requirements for a uniform. Find out from your team where to get quality uniforms at a good price. Think about color, shoes, gloves, and anything else you might need. For more information on Baton-Twirling Uniforms, contact us today.
Have the person stand facing you holding the right arm straight out to the right side. Lay a yard stick on top of the arm and against the side of the neck. Read the correct baton length at the end of the longest finger. Order that size baton.

At 7 years old, Emily Reyer picked up her first baton in Kathy Forsythe’s Boys and Girls club class and never set it down. Eight years later, Reyer is still twirling every week with the same coach. All the work seems to be paying off.
In May, Reyer won the state title for her age group in five of six events. She then went on to compete for the Grand Championship titles in dance twirl, strut, two-baton and three-baton. She won the dance twirl and strut titles and took second place in the two- and three-baton categories. The grand championship is comprised of the winners from each age group to determine the best of the best.
“It’s a real experience for me,” Reyer said. After eight years, the excitement of competition still motivates her to continue.
Reyer’s first national competition was in 2005 in Kansas, but one of her favorite moments was at the national competition in Daytona, Fla. In 2008 where she qualified in three events.
“I still get nervous,” she said.
In addition to reaching national-level competitions, Reyer practices and competes with a national baton team called Encore.
Getting a new baton is like anything else, you want to make it unique. You want to make it a representation of who you are. Very few people just leave their batons how they are straight from the factory. You can add ribbon, colored ends, or decorate the shaft. It’s your choice. What is your favorite color or animal? The possibilities are endless.
The most common question we receive here at Star Line Batons is what do you have that I can use to make my new baton more colorful. Well that’s easy, the most easiest and affordable not to mention practical product to make your new baton unique would be the grip tape. We have everything from grip tape with a shiny prism texture to a more natural soft cotton tape.
From there, you can choose from a variety of custom printed batons. Check out our Millennium Stars. These batons feature custom printed shafts.
You may have heard the news that a biologist, Dr. Craig Venter is claiming to have created life synthetically. From what I understood, Venter and his team of researches removed the DNA (functioning parts) of a yeast cell, leaving it “dead”. Then, they re-injected their mixture of synthetic chemicals and the yeast cell came back to life and started functioning and multiplying.
Dr. Venter has encountered a slew of backlash from his claim. Of course many people are worried that he will be playing GOD, Others are worried that this synthetic form of bacteria could cause unforeseen problems to humans, and still others do not believe that he actually accomplished creating life.
I saw Venter’s interview on Good Morning America and on the positive side he claims his discovery can help eliminate the Gulf Oil Spill along with several other great and wonderful things. What really disturbed me was pretty much the first thing out of his mouth, he said “there is no great miracle involved in the creation of life”. What?!? All I can say to that Mr. Venter is…your work is yet to be determined.
