The Martinettes were founded in 1969 by Kathy Martin Savarino. Now in their 40th year, the corps is under the direction of Alice Wassilchalk Breckenridge and assistant director Donna Wassilchalk. Brandy Anderson is the assistant instructor.
Over the years, the corps has performed under many different names. As the membership of the corps changed, the name was updated to reflect that change. During the 2006-2007 season, the decision was made to update the name again. The corps is now performing under the name of The Martinettes Twirling Corps!!!! It is our hope that the corps will now be recognized for providing instruction in all types of twirling equipment, (multiple batons, fire baton, flags, rifles, ribbons, etc.) and not just in single baton twirling.
"The Martinettes" have participated in hundreds of parades and have held the titles of PA Firemen's Conference State Champions, Western PA Firemen's Conference Champions, Kennywood Park Fantasy Competition Champions, and Washington, Westmoreland & Fayette County Firemen's Conference Champions, as well as numerous other first place titles. During the 2006-2007 season, the corps was invited to perform during one of the pre-game festivities of the World Champion Pittsburgh Passion Women's Football Team. During the 2007-2008 season, the corps was given the opportunity to perform during a charity event for the Leukemia and Lymphomia Society.
