You are invited to America's Youth on Parade, baton twirling's most prestigious event of the year, at the University of Notre Dame. There's no twirling spectacular quite like AYOP. It brings together the best baton twirlers, teams and corps in the world for a series of National and World Open Championship contests — all under one umbrella. It can be appropriately called the "World Series of Baton Twirling." AYOP events are held in the spacious, air conditioned Joyce Center (Athletic and Convocation Center (JACC)) and are sanctioned by the NBTA International.
