Drill team
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A drill team is a marching unit that performs military style maneuvers in parades, at air shows, football half-time shows, and other ceremonies. High school and college drill teams also often compete with one another in drill meets. All of the military services have drill teams. As well as executing standard drill commands, drill teams also perform exhibition drill in which they may perform intricate marching maneuvers along with spinning and throwing rifles in the air, sometimes with fixed bayonets.
Other types of Drill teams include small and large military teams. These teams perform routines that are danced in unity to a variety of instrumental upbeat music. (Search Drill Team at Youtube.com for examples)
