New Website Launching in September!


 

Dear Subscriber and Future Subscriber,

Twirl Magazine is proud to announce that we are moving into the future by making our magazine all digital and making our website a true multimedia experience. We are going green! Not only do we get to “go green’ by reducing waste we also get to reduce the cost to you. The price of subscriptions has been lowered from $33.00 a year to $25.00 dollars a year. The printers we have spoken to have stated that over 70% of their magazine business is going digital and that means a huge increase in print costs. Small magazines simply cannot afford to continue printing magazines and most have moved into the digital world. In order to keep Twirl Magazine going we had to look at all our options and we saw tremendous opportunity in the digital medium. Those of you with existing subscriptions will receive 2 additional issues as a thank you for your support and understanding of this transition. The magazine will be delivered directly to your email or you can access it on our all new website. The digital format allows us to bring more interactive features directly to you from the pages of the magazine. This new format has embedded links, video and audio that will only enhance your reading experience. With the subscription, you will receive free access onto our all new website. Featured on our website will be twirling links, contest calendar, never before seen videos, video of the week, results from around the country/world, online only interviews, message board, surveys, tips and tricks and a breaking news section. Imagine knowing the latest results and news from around the twirling world as it happens. We are also very excited to announce a monthly twirling podcast were you can listen to the latest news, discussions about twirling, and interviews of some of twirling most important people. We already have a very successful Facebook page, with 2,000+ members, and will continue to ask questions of the week and put breaking news our wall as well.

We will need your help with supplying articles, tips and tricks, quotes, and letters to the editor. We want to make this magazine for and about the twirling world. This is your magazine. You will direct the content. The more articles and comments we get the better. The only way we can make this a success is with your support and active involvement. We are looking for correspondents from around the country and world to report on the twirling world. We are looking for regional/state correspondents, University reporters, pageant people and those in fields related to baton twirling issues (medical, dance instructors, vendor etc.) The magazine also needs articles for Junior Spotlight (Adv. 0-13), Senior Spotlight (Adv. 13+), Rising Stars (any twirler), Team Scene, Friday Night Lights (High School Twirling) Judges Table, Coaches Corner and On the Field (College Twirling). If you are interested in become part of the Twirl Magazine family please email Lindsay at twirlmagazine@aol.com. Or Mail your articles directly to us… 909 Virginia Ave, Essex, Md 21221.

For those of you who wish to have a historical record or a keepsake … Twirl Magazine is happy to announce that we will produce an annual year in review. This book will have all of the articles from the past year as well as results from state, regional and national events from all over the country. Included in this annual review will be a section dedicated to births, marriages and deaths. You can also send a message of congratulations to your favorite twirler or team/corps for all their hard work. This Year in Review will also show case the reigning National and World Champions from all the different organizations.

Unfortunately, when we acquired this magazine the former owner did not supply email address. In order to make this work we need to have your email address. So please email you email and full name (under which the subscription is listed) to twirlmagazine@aol.com or just send us a message on facebook.

We are thrilled to let you all know that the relaunch date for twirl Magazine is August 26th 2010! So make sure we have your email by August 10th! Thank you so much for you continued support and understanding. Please feel free email or discuss any concerns with Lindsay at twirlmagazine@aol.com.
