OUR LEGACY…

52 years in the making

The Sparklers Baton Twirling Organization began their twirling program in the 1974-1975 season, starting with just six girls from Brentwood, New York. They won their first New York State Championship title in 1977, and captured the 1979 Championship titles at the Regional and National Competitions.

The Imperial Knights Color Guard and the Sparklers, founded by Pat Walsh, beloved wife of Michael Walsh, along with their children Michael, Thomas, Steven, James and Linda, participated as a family unit, creating joy and happiness for thousands of children and family members.

Through the utilization of disciplined practices, camaraderie, teamwork and the spirit of competition, they succeeded in building strong character and leadership qualities. Children and adults alike, remain forever grateful to participate in the history making of the SPARKLER FAMILY, aka The Walsh Family.

WE’VE COME A LONG WAY BABY!

With the Sparkler foundation already established, it has lead the way and has been very inspirational, to say the least, in continuing the growth and development of the sport of baton twirling. Enriching and touching the lives of our current membership with the same characteristics as our founders, continues to be one of our primary goals. Creating talented twirlers is dependent on the right mixture of early experience, good coaching, practice and motivation. This mixture establishes that the parents do most of the mixing. We believe a parent’s role is crucial in the development of the athlete’s talent and with the support and involvement of all our Sparkler parents we continue to SHINE.
