What is Drill Team? Drill Team consists of several smaller teams which compete in the areas of marching and rifle movements. There are a total of five teams under the Drill Team’s administration.
- Unarmed Regulation Drill: Consists of basic marching and facing movements in a platoon. Scores based on correct and precise completion of a standard “drill card” (a routine of certain commands executed in a set order).
- Armed Regulation Drill: Similar to Unarmed Standard, but with basic rifle movements added to the marching card.
- Unarmed Exhibition: Consists of a more advanced, team-developed routine of military step. Emphasis on military bearing, synchronization, and precision.
- Armed Exhibition: This team is essentially the face of military drill in any branch. Consists of rifle spinning and throwing to a team-developed routine. Armed Exhibition teams can be 1, 2, and 4 cadet small teams as well as a platoon size element.
- Competition Color Guard: This four-man team marches a standard drill card in a detail consisting of two rifles, the JROTC Battalion flag, and the United States’ Flag. (Competition Color Guard is not necessary for participation in extracurricular Color Guards.
