The ASU Marching band is under the direction of Jim Hudson and the ASU feature
twirler coordinator is Cassidy Tse, a former ASU Feature Twirler. A typical ASU game day starts
with pre-game traditions, with the signature explosion block which is when the band runs around
during a drum cadence and spells out the letters “ASU.” Once pre-game is complete to get the
stadium excited for game day they watch the hype video on the big screen and the most popular
part is when the ASU Mascot, Sparky, stomps the bus of the opposing team while the football
team runs out on the field. After performing together in pre-game the ASU feature twirlers like to
incorporate their own routines so they have the best of both worlds. After a long and fun game,
the stadium joins the band and sings the Alma Mater together.
The ASU Feature Twirlers have loved the experience and friends they have made
through the program. They have loved the moments and opportunities including the Las Vegas
Bowl, especially seeing their halftime performance on ESPNW. Both Only Twirlers and the ASU
Feature Twirlers were so honored to have the ASU feature twirlers as this weekend's takeover.
Don’t forget to come back next
weekend for another takeover!
