2025-2026 Social Squad

Only Twirlers Nation,

The new Only Twirlers Social Media Squad is here are ready to work! From all over the nation, these twirlers are coming together to bring you the best twirling content around!

Bree Bell

We are so excited to welcome Bree Bell to the Only Twirlers Social Squad! Bree is currently a second-year student at Saginaw Valley State University in Michigan and is ready to bring her passion for baton twirling and writing to the team.

Bree has been twirling for an incredible 13 years and currently twirls with Great Lakes Twirling Academy. She competes with NBTA and has big dreams for the future, continuing her college twirling career while working toward coaching her own team of high school twirlers someday.

As part of her internship, Bree will be taking on the role of Game Day Blog Post Writer, where she’ll be sharing insights, experiences, and excitement from the world of college twirling. She’s most excited about connecting with college twirlers from across the country and growing the twirling community.

Of course, we had to ask Bree about her favorite Only Twirlers merch. Her go-to picks are the stoned twirler sports bra and a boom no-drop towel for that extra boost of good luck!

When it comes to competition day, Bree keeps her energy up with Teddy Grahams (a classic choice!) and never leaves home without extra hairspray. Right before she takes the floor, she takes a deep breath, tells herself she’s going to rock it, and walks out with the confidence of a champion.

We are so thrilled to have Bree on our Social Squad and can’t wait for you to read her Game Day posts. Welcome, Bree!

Trudy Chang

Please join us in welcoming Trudy Chang to the Only Twirlers Social Squad! Trudy is a senior at Ruben S. Ayala High School in California, where she has been shining on the floor for over 12 years (with remarkable resilience after taking a short break for a medical condition).

Trudy twirls with the Shining Stars team and competes in SCBBA and NBTA. She has big dreams for her future in twirling—continuing to perform as an Ayala Bulldog at football games, rallies, and parades, while also pursuing the opportunity to become a feature twirler at a Southern California college. Her ultimate dream? To one day represent Team USA on the international stage.

As an Only Twirlers Social Media Intern, Trudy is excited to connect with twirlers from across the country while diving deeper into the twirling community. She looks forward to sharing advice for younger athletes, helping educate others about the sport, and showcasing her love for baton twirling through her work. When it comes to merch, she swears by the OT sports bras (so comfy!) and collects the colorful Nationals tank tops every year.

On competition days, Trudy keeps it simple—hydration is key, so she always has a small Gatorade on hand. Her number one essential is her trusty check-list, which keeps her organized and stress-free while preparing for long days. Before stepping onto the floor, she dedicates at least 15 minutes to stretching with her earbuds in, letting her favorite lock-in playlist calm her nerves and get her body competition-ready.

We are so thrilled to have Trudy as part of the Social Squad and can’t wait for you to see the energy and passion she brings to Only Twirlers. Welcome, Trudy!
