It is a funny story on how I got to be my High Schools majorette my senior year of high school.
I twirled the small flags, which are like batons but with flags attached, and danced for the band. I was a member from the ages of 14-19 years old. It was one of the best times of my life.
One weekend while I was practicing for a baton competition I was doing a a 2 1/2 turn behind the back catch when the baton came straight down on my right middle finger and almost broke it. It swelled up so badly and was black and blue. I remember walking into the gym with my swollen finger to get some ice and my gymnastics coach was there. She was so mad at me because I was out for both baton and gymnastics.
