What is Drill? What are the different teams?

​Drill is like fancy walking
Drill Teams at service academies, ROTC and JROTC units, and civilian drill teams perform at parades, drill meets, football games/ half-time shows, schools, and other public venues. Also, our unit performs honor guard and memorial ceremony's as well as flag history presentations. If you would like us to perform a color guard or other ceremony, click here to contact us! 

What are the different teams?
Our unit has a total of 3 different drill teams. Details about these teams are listed below. 

Who can join drill team?
Drill team is offered to Missouri 81st cadets ONLY! You have to be enrolled in the class to participate in a drill team. All cadets in the unit learn how to do basic drill, and drill commands their 1st year in the unit. Cadets learn these skills so that they can participate in any color guards or ceremony's we conduct in school, or to the public. DRILL IS NOT MANDATORY!!  Practice dates are determined by the Drill Team Coordinator, Kinsey Brasier. You can contact her here. Some teams require more practice then others. Transportation for drill practice is not provided. Drill practices normally occur everyday for 30ish minutes before the start of the school day.
