That Gary Frueholz interview back in the spring of 1965 at Alhambra’s Y on Almansor Street did not really go that well for Cindy, who was all of five feet tall. “Mr. Adrian said I was too short.” However, her friend who was another AHS grad of 1965, Cheryl Tiegs, did get a modeling job out of the interview that day. And that experience helped remind Cindy that her real talent and future resided in what she knew best, baton twirling. Cindy’s maiden name was Frazier back in those days and she had been Alhambra High School’s top major- ette during this time. Over her high school years, Cindy amassed 260 trophies in advance baton twirling, pa- rade twirling, hoop baton twirling, and military strut- ting. And from this, Cindy would make a professional ca- reer out of baton twirling. While attending California State University Fullerton, Cindy became a Los Ange- les Rams majorette and later was promoted to director of the Rams pregame and halftime majorette programs in the late 1960s and ’70s. Along the way, Cindy Collins worked with Carroll Rosenbloom and Georgia Frontiere of the Los Angeles Rams and the floor of the Los Angeles Memorial Coli- seum became her creative palette as she designed and directed pregame and halftime programs for the Rams.

  • 2019 NBTA Solo Rules
    2019 NBTA Solo Rules Changes are highlighted FOREWORD Few activities provide a more wholesome and worthwhile outlet for the energies of today’s youth than baton twirling. Sanctioned twirling contests are largely responsible for the growth, development, and advancement of twirling as a performance sport, performing art, and beneficial activity. Many of the keen traits found in today’s twirlers can be directly credited to their participation in twirling contests, i.e., physical fitness, good sportsmanship, poise, showmanship, teamwork, personality projection, ambidexterity, and self- confidence. Baton twirling contests provide a place where baton twirlers can join together in friendly competition and share common interests- while participating in a program for baton boosters and the public to view. NBTA INTERNATIONAL’s large network of baton twirling contests is an important part of the national and world baton twirling picture. There is usually greater interest and a higher level of twirling proficiency found in areas where there are top-level competitions. MOTTO AND PLEDGE OF HONOR NBTA INTERNATIONAL’s motto is “winning is participating!” Accept new friendship as you extend your friendship to your fellow competitors. And remember, you are a part of the great HONOR SYSTEM that helps set apart baton twirling from many other sports. It is your responsibility to maintain accurate records and to compete in the proper classification and age divisions. NBTA INTERNATIONAL contestants are bound by the following code of honor: My Pledge – Code of Honor In order to substantiate advancement, I pledge responsibility, with the help of my parents and teacher, to accurately record my twirling contest participation, dates, locations, categories, age divisions, placements, and advancement.

  • Bowling, a Pastime Long Associated with Blue-Collar Americans
    36 2 0 1 1 N UMBER 4 | E NGLISH T EACHING F ORUM by Phyllis McIntosh Art might seem to have little in common with bowling, a pastime long associated with blue-collar Americans. A bowling alley (the traditional name for a bowling establishment) is the last place one would expect to find an art gallery. But Lucky Strike, a chain of chic upscale bowling centers, proudly claims its passion for the arts. Its lanes and lounges in 22 cities nationwide are famous for their ever-changing video displays of works by dozens of emerging artists. Lucky Strike’s innovation is just one example of bowling’s dramatic transformation over the past few decades. Once a no-frills sport played mostly by lower-middle-income workers in sponsored leagues, bowling has become the centerpiece of high-tech family entertainment complexes and fancy clubs that appeal to trendy urbanites. As a result, bowling is enjoying a resurgence in popularity, especially among the young. According to the United States Bowling Congress (USBC), more than 70 million Americans bowl each year, which makes bowling one of the most popular participation sports in the United States. The Golden Age of Bowling Of all American pastimes, bowling is one of the easiest to pursue. Just show up at Bowlers are required to the neighborhood bowling center, rent the required shoes, use the balls provided, and wear shoes like these, which won’t mar the floor of the pay a reasonable fee to bowl as many games as you like.

Twirling Progress Baton twirling can be traced back many decades to Siam, Arabia and the Samoan Islands where a “far- cry” form of twirling was used for ceremonial dance and celebration. Spears, knives and guns were manipulated in a manner that resembles many of the movements found in twirling today. The first sign of baton twirling in America was the early juggling drum majors who performed feats of balance and dexterity that would amaze even the most critical of modern day twirlers. Probably the greatest of early performers was Major C. W. Booth, of Chicago, who performed in every civilized country in the world.
