Dear USA Team Members,
Congratulations on qualifying as a member of the USA World Team and/or the USA Nations Cup Team competing at the very first IBTF World Baton Twirling Championships in Liverpool, England August 4 – 13, 2023!!
This is the first of many communications from the USA Organizing Committee. But unlike in the past where the newsletters were sent out by email, all newsletters and updated information will be posted on our website at nbtausaworldteam.com.
There will be monthly email reminders sent to USA team members and group directors when the website has been updated with newsletter information. However, all information will be updated on our website as soon as it is available so it is advisable to check the website often.
The USA rosters have been finalized for all events and can be found on both the batontwirling.com and nbtausaworldteam.com websites.
