ELLISVILLE\u2013 D\u2019Iberville\u2019s baton twirling sisters, Alyssa and Kayla Webb have been members of the elite, \u201cDixie Doll Twirlers\u201d team based in Biloxi, for more than 10-years together. As Â鶹ֱ²¥ students, and the feature twirlers for the Maroon Typhoon Marching Band, the Webb sisters are performing together for the first time ever, in the \u201cdreamy\u201d half-time performance called, \u201cWhat Dreams May Come.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe never had a routine together, so this is our debut!\u201d said Alyssa Webb. \u201cYou don\u2019t see sister twirlers in college performances. It\u2019s very unique and it’s good because we understand each other. We know what we\u2019re both capable of doing and we \u2018read\u2019 each other well.\u201d<\/p>\n

During their competition days with the Dixie Dolls, the Webb\u2019s traveled throughout the southeastern region collecting trophies from numerous regional, state and local competitions. The team captured 1st<\/sup> place in Nationals and Kayla earned individual 1st<\/sup> place honors in a national competition while they were both at D\u2019Iberville High School. Using their award-winning experience, the Webb sisters incorporated a few of their favorite moves into their Â鶹ֱ²¥ performances on the football field this fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a move that looks like a double cartwheel while tossing the baton. We\u2019re also exchanging batons, and twirling fire batons and blades,\u201d said Kayla. \u201cDuring the pre-game and half-time shows, we perform during the Eurythmics song, \u2018Sweet Dreams\u2019 and Van Halen\u2019s, \u2018Dream On.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Alyssa journeyed to the Ellisville campus first and then convinced Kayla to join her at Jones. \u201cAlyssa had fun here and really liked it at Jones so I thought I would join her,\u201d said Kayla. \u201cA lot of the Dixie Dolls have performed at Jones. I don\u2019t expect that will end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several members of the \u201cDixie Doll Twirlers\u201d have dazzled Jones audiences over the last 15 years, including Carly Carpenter 2017-19, Autumn Dunnaway 2017-18, Sabrina Sagers 2015-17, Megan Crager 2009-10, Ashleigh Richardson Fulton 2008-10, Ashton Rushing 2008-10, Olivia Purvis Hall 2007-09 and Lauren Byrd 2003-04.<\/p>\n

For Alyssa, her last performance may be at the last Jones home football game on October 24.\u00a0 She plans to graduate in May and work on her bachelor\u2019s degree in accounting at USM. Kayla will spend another year as a Jones Bobcat before heading to the University of South Alabama to pursue a degree in physical therapy. The D\u2019Iberville High School graduates said they plan on enjoying the spotlight for as long as they can twirl the baton, or their careers prevent them from performing.<\/p>\n
