Stephen F. Austin State University Twirl-O-Jacks
Grace....Poise....Style!
These are words that have become synonymous with the Twirl-O-Jacks of Stephen F. Austin State University since their founding in 1956 under the band directorship of Jimmie Hudgins. While Mr. Hudgins coined the name
"Twirl-O-Jacks," the group's unique style was created by then head T-O-J, Pat (Griffin) Bridges. This group is known and respected throughout the United States for its tradition of unique choreography, high quality
performances, and impressive appearance. The graceful, flashy, and entertaining T-O-J style reflects careful attention to skill. This is coordinated with a combination of beautiful ballet-based body form and various other contemporary dance forms and steps.
