2L Paige Pattillo juggles law school and one, two, three batons Paige Pattillo, a second-year law student who grew up in Nacogdoches, said she had been twirling as long as she can remember. Her mom was a feature twirler and drum major in high school and taught her daughter the twirling basics at a very young age. We always had a couple of batons in the hall closet, Pattillo, the Longhorn Band feature twirler, said. She started taking dance classes at age 2 and quickly began learning how to incorporate baton work into dancing. Patillo signed up to play the flute in mid- dle school, but it didn ' t take. The directors all knew my love was the baton, not the flute, she said. But when PiUtillo got to high sch..ol, the band didn ' t include ,i twirler n its show. 1 talked to the high school director, and he asked, ' Which do you like better, baton or flute? ' Pattillo said. Of course, I chose baton. The director allowed Pattillo to perform baton on the field. She began creating her own routines, many with multiple batons, and won awards for her twirling abilities. There are a few tricks I always do, Pattillo said. But there ' s not a limit on the different harder. Pattillo earned her undergraduate degree at Stephen F Austin State University and performed with the SFA band. Her dream, though, was to become a member of the Longhorn Band. Pattillo said she lived her dream during every football game. It ' s an adrenaline rush, Pattillo said. I know nothing that can describe how I feel when 1 see all tho.se people hanging over the tunnel doing ' hook ' em horns. ' It takes my breath away. This place is awesome. In the past, the U)nghorn Band had multiple feature twirlcrs performing at the same time, but positions had been filled since the students graduated. Longhorn Band director Rob Carnochan said that unless more than one outstanding perfomer tried out, the band would probably keep only one feature twirler in the future. Like other band members, Pattillo would also ha ' e to try out again to keep her p.isition. Though not part iif a particular section, Pattillo said she felt right at home and was proud to con- sider herself a part of the Longhorn Band. I love them, she said. There ' s nothing like having 50 band members around you on the field. There aren ' t many places where they ' re as supportive as they are in LHB. — adapted from t )c Ocin vr 4, 2002 Daily Texan story icks Th always ways to make
