The Drill Team is a military marching unit that performs different routines and competes at "drill meets" around the nation. The two categories of drill teams are armed and unarmed. Drill Teams compete in 3 different phases, inspection, regulation, and exhibition.
Inspection: Cadets are asked questions on many different topics such as, current events, first aid, military regulations and many more! They are judged on how many questions they answer correctly, uniform and military appearance, professionalism, and abidance with army regulations.
Regulation: In this phase, the drill team conducts a military style marching sequence. The cadets are judged on how well they execute the commands, synchronization, precision of movements, and abidance with army regulations.
Exhibition: The drill team performs a routine that they create and perfect by themselves. Members also wear a different uniform than the Army Service Uniform (ASU) for this phase. This is the most creative event in a drill meet. The team is judged on synchronization, creativity, precision of movements, and military presence but it is fairly subjective and depends on what the judges prefer.
Upon joining a drill team, cadets are automatically promoted to the rank of C/Corporal, and receive a Class A Uniform, a Drill Team ribbon, and a wall locker double the size of a normal locker.
Out of the entire battalion leadership for the 2018-2019 school year, 100% of cadets are active members on multiple special teams and all but one cadet have been active members on a drill team.
