Local Twirler Places Second In National Baton Competition
July 25, 2012
Colbi Kendall of Flomaton recently took part in the National Baton Twirling Competition on the campus of Notre Dame University in South Bend, Indiana.
She placed second in the 2-baton 12-year old division, missing the title by one-tenth of a point. She competed against 33 girls from across the U.S. and Canada.
“Twirling is my life, I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t twirl,” Kendall said.
Kendall is the daughter of Keith and Alissa Lodge. She twirls with the Santa Rosa and Escambia Twirlers under the instruction of Melissa Majors.

Congratulations Colbi, I knew you could do it baby girl…
Yes, it is very true; for anyone that hasn’t ever seen Colbi twirl, she is quite the little spitfire.
I’ve watched her from a very young age, twirl. I might add, she has worked so hard and still does…
You go babygirl, Very proud of you…
See ya at practice.
The look on my daughter’s face as she finished her routine and exited the floor and flew into her dad’s arms was PRICELESS! I love you Baby Girl and we are so proud of you and I didn’t even mind when you ran into my arms and tackled me to the ground when you recieved your score!LOL
