On Saturday, December 9, the 51st National Baton Twirling Competition was held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture. The junior high school baton twirling team performed "SCORPION - A poisonous insect crawling on the ground" and the high school baton twirling team performed "Rusalka - A sad water spirit from Slavic mythology".
The venue was filled with cheers and applause for the many wonderful performances that took place on the enthusiastic stage of both the junior and senior high schools.
Unfortunately, they did not win the Grand Prix, but their hard work and passion were rewarded with gold medals at both the junior and senior high schools.
We will continue to spread the fascination of baton twirling and hone our skills so that we can deliver new excitement at the next competition.

Thank you all for your enthusiastic support. Thank you very much for your enthusiastic support.
