She flips the baton over her wrist, rolls it up her arm and back again. Ss, ww., The group consists of approxi- mately 100 members-50 majorettes, 30 drummers and 20 flags. I spend a lot of time with the people at prac- tices, we're like one big family. The Toppers have participated in many parades and have also appeared on Evening Magazine. Besides competing with Top- pers, Debbie also competes alone and works with a private instructor. She has won 50 trophies and 45 medals, and has earned first runner-up in the Sharon Perlral, 4620 Hawksbury Rd 21208: Track, manager 10, Badminton 11, Tennis 12, Varsity Club 10, 11.

Sometimes the practices get tire- some, but it's the greatest feeling when we win. Aspiring majorettes take baton classes from Brenda Hoffman when they're five years old. Seniorsl211

One such activity is baton twirl- ing. Two students from RHS, Brenda Hoffman and Debbie Hurst, are both accomplished majorettes. Senior Brenda Hoffman has been a majorette for 13 years. She has taught baton twirling and was the feature twirler for a year. A feature twirler is the one twirler who leads the group, doing the attention-pro- 'wa' ducing baton tricks. Although teaching requires pa- tience, she finds it worthwhile. Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it, but most of the time it's very rewarding. Brenda teaches kids ages four through 10. Their group, supported by the Liberty Road Vol- unteer Fire Department, has 30 pa- rades a year. Brenda's first parade was at age four and she still enjoys marching very much. Debbie Hurst is also a majorette
