lmprovement of skills Practice . . . practice . . . and then some more practice. That's what it takes to be a Seaholm twirler. To become a twirler requires a certain amount of poise, a basic knowledge of marching techniques, a good sense of rhythm, and a desire to work diligently to improve the appearance of the high school band. An ability to apply different movements to music is also required. Girls are chosen for the twirlers after tryouts by Mr. Berndt. They perform for all football games in the fall, originating skits for the half time entertainment. Since the size of the band determines the number of twirlers that are needed at any one time, a system of rotating appearances has been set up by the girls The girls also select their own leaders Twirlers purchase their own uniforms and by serving a year can eam a letter similar to those given cheer leaders Discussing future routines are Lois Eckstrom Gretchen Reinhart Sharon Noetzel and Carol Edgar as Sandy Turf demonstrates their suggestions Each day the girls run through new routines and improve the old ones to display during the half times of our football games Lois Eckstrom and Carol Edgar were co captains of the twirlers this year 'V requires great patience - ,gl Alt looks like a free for all but its really Just the normal warmups of the twirlers during the fourth hour The girls use the corridor just outside of the band room as a practice room during inclement weather Here Lois Eckstrom Carol Edgar Sharon Noetzel and Sandy Turf work out I - .
