The baton twirling community has been saddened by the passing of Brooks Going. Brooks was a legend in our activity, coaching many champions over decades. I remember Brooks in the 1970s as the coach who taught amazingly difficult rolls to his students. He helped many competitors along their paths to championship titles, in a variety of baton twirling organizations.
Brooks passed away in Florida at the age of 71 on April 29, 2010. Services celebrating his life are scheduled for May 15, 2010, 1:30 pm, at Jennings Funeral Home in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Thoughts go out to his family and loved ones.
I remember Brooks teaching my daughters class in the early 70″s at a studio in Worth, Illinois – even then he was fantastic and my daughter remembers him and she was a small child
I am so terribly sorry for you great loss!
You will be my prayers as will as Brooks.
With heartfelt support Gloria
