majorettes
Parade baton twirlers
Majorettes are baton twirlers who perform with marching bands, typically at parades and football halftime shows.
The role combines choreographed dance with the spinning and tossing of metal batons.
Majorettes traditionally wear sequined uniforms with short skirts and tall boots.
The singular is majorette, from drum major—the band leader they often accompany.
