TwirlZone is relaunching our site with some highlights from the Spooktacular Baton Twirling Contest held in Omaha (Bellevue), Nebraska.  Twirlers from Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska dressed up in their Halloween best for this fun event!

This is the 4th year for director Jami Baustert's Spooktacular twirling contest.  Twirlers modeled in Halloween costumes, twirled solo routines to a mix of Halloween music and entered a raffle of candy and other SPOOKY goodies.  Every year this contest features recycled trophies from twirling legends of the past.  Participants can pick from a recycled trophies or other Halloween themed goodies.  This contest served as a fun warm-up for many twirlers after taking a short summer break.

One of the days twirling highlights was an energetic twirling exhibition by Grace Wood, 2012 Juvenile Grand National Twirling Champion! 

The contest also featured a solo twirloff - winners included:
Novice: Alyssa Robb
