On Saturday, May 7th seven local girls traveled to Shelbyville, Indiana to compete in the 2016 Indiana Baton Twirling Championships. For the past seven months, the girls have been taking lessons from PHS Junior, Alicia Dennie. This was the first year of competing for most of the girls. All of the girls are members of Daphne’s Dolls and will be twirling in parades, with the group, this summer.
