This is a really excellent display. I have been Indian club swinging for 25 years and I thought this was marvellous. I have learnt something new myself too. Well done!
Rule #1 of proper flag etiquette. Don't EVER let the American flag touch the ground. You did this, so therefore you FAIL. I don't care how many fancy twirls you can do. Practice with your own state flags on something. But you do NOT let the flag of our country touch the ground. I'm so surprised you never learned this, considering your age.
Around the 2;50 mark the flags brush the ground and come dangerously close many other times. But I can see now that it was unintentional. She should have been standing on something or using smaller flags.
Indian Club drills(the flag drill's a modern adaptation)were popular in the early 1900's as a part of exercise programs.Indian Clubs vary in size and weight.The ones I've used are 3/4lb. but they can go up to 50lbs.The drills were part of the 1904 & 1932 Olympics.I've swung them with fire on the ends as well as using electrically lit clubs that change colors throughout the drill.The drills can vary in pattern/routine and complexity.
Awesome moves! Very impressive!!!

@powskier The flags don't hit the ground and this drill is honoring the USA and its flag as well as it's a tribute to our Armed Forces!
