Baton Twirling Supplies

There are six eary steps to selecting baton twirling supplies. Below are the steps. Determine what it is you are shopping for, whether your first assemblage of twirling gear or a specific item like polishing cloths. Step 2Select supplies according to your level of expertise and usage and buy in advance so you do not get caught without something you need. If you are a veteran twirler and performing often, you need to have a backup for everything you use, including batons, cases, cleaning supplies, and special balls or tips. Step 3Save all of your receipts when you do make purchases to track your expenditures as well as be prepared to make returns or exchanges of merchandise. Step 4Remember to pick up smaller supplies, like chalk or rosin. Although it's easy to overlook these types of supplies in favor of well-built cases and flashy tassels, they're actually vital to keeping your baton clean and your performance fluid. Step 5Find baton supplies by asking your school or club coach for recommendations on local stores, consulting the ads in a twirling magazine such as "Drum Major" and checking out the supplier listing at websites such as TwirlZone.com (see Resources below). It is as important to select a good supplier as it is to select good supplies.
