A sport involving a metal stick, called a baton. It's a combination of dance and gymnasics, while twirling the baton. It was origionally a men's sport for twirling in front of the marching band in parades but is now open for both genders to participate. Baton twirling is considered a sport in many coutries around the world and, in Japan, the twirlers are treated like famous sports stars. There are different levels of competitions (states, regionals, nationals, worlds). There are different levels and age groups, too.
Baton twirling started by drum majors using batons to keep the beat for the marching band and were commonly twirled to create more of a show for spectators.
Baton twirling is a sport that involves preforming tricks and manoeuvres with a metal stick with rubber ends. It is a dangerous sport as twirlers often hit themselves quite hard during practice as that baton is very hard. Yet no matter how many injuries they have, twirlers get over it and continue to hurt themselves with the sport. In most countries, it is quite unknown and some peopledon’t perceive it as a sport. It is a sport as it involves many qualities such as hand-eye coordination, team work, practice, dedication, flexibility and more.
Friend: Can you come over today?
Me: No I have to practice my baton twirling
A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.
Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
