In 1993, in their first appearance at the National Collegiate Half-Time Twirl Championships at the America’s Youth on Parade competition, UT’s majorettes won the national championship. The contest, sponsored by the National Baton Twirlers Association, featured routines by more than 3,500 twirlers. The Dynasty Trophy was awarded to UT as the best team—a special honor since the revolving award is presented in honor of Claudette Riley Sisk, a former UT head majorette.
