As the lights fade at Doak Campbell Stadium, spectators anticipate what’s ahead: flaming batons cutting through the evening sky. Florida State’s Feature Twirlers, Kylee Saltsman and Mikayla Schuller, are here to set another season ablaze.

Being part of the globally celebrated Marching Chiefs, the two Feature Twirlers, who have lofty academic and professional aspirations, uphold a legacy that has established FSU as one of the most recognized institutions in collegiate twirling.

“Igniting that passion and listening to the ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ from the crowd is incredible,” Saltsman remarked. “It’s such a thrill to represent FSU.”

David Plack, the director of athletic bands, stated that the duo embodies FSU’s esteemed heritage.

“Within college marching bands and the twirling arena, FSU has garnered a reputation for exceptional Feature Twirlers,” Plack expressed. “Mikayla and Kylee carry on that tradition with dedication and distinction. They’re exceptional representatives for the Marching Chiefs and Florida State.”
