Parks Guard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parks Guard Rifle Drill Team, or PG, was founded in 1948 as an Air Force Rifle Drill team representing Parks College of Engineering and Aviation, a college of Saint Louis University.
[edit] History
For 56 years, PG has represented Parks College -- the first aviation college in the United States -- making it one of the oldest organizations on the campus. Parks Guard is a varsity Class "A" Rifle Exhibition Drill Team composed of students from the St. Louis area. PG is regarded as one of the strongest teams in the country and annually receives invitations from across the nation to compete. Several factors have led to this outstanding recognition: the team's unique style of marching (the slow 40-step per minute cadence), difficult rifle tosses, and the degree of self-discipline each member has as a result of the program's intense introductory training.
