Meet our instructors:

Patty Cochran, Instructor/Owner

Ms Cochran is a veteran instructor of 32 years. She began twirling the baton before she could barely walk. If there was a band playing nearby, her Mom and Dad knew they'd better take her SOON! Patty always loved the bands and some things just never change!

Many of her students have become twirling instructors, professional cheerleaders in the NFL, professional models, and most importantly, well-rounded young ladies. Patty's students have won numerous awards in individual, duets, trios, teams, and corps on the local, state, regional, and mini-national levels. Ms Cochran has also received the honor of being named Teacher of the Year by The National Majorette Association.

"Ms Patty" as her girls call her, is a dedicated and caring teacher to all of her students. Some would say she spoils the girls!
