What is involved if the cadet wants to join the drill team?
It is a high honor to be on the drill team. Cadets should possess good reading and testing skills, physical fitness, responsibility and a willingness to put in many hours of practice. Since its inception, the drill team has never failed to go all the way to the national competition- “The Best of the Best”. We typically hold practices from 1 to 6 PM on Sunday afternoons from September to the end of the competition season in July. Cadets can be excused from practices for school or family activities. We also have a Friday to Sunday Bivouac just prior to the Regional and National competitions. There are some monetary costs involved such as a good competition Blues uniform, and a team uniform but the money can be raised through bottles and cans or anything else the cadet wishes to do.
