Drill Teams
What is Drill?
Drill teams are about providing a better understanding of drill and ceremonies for both military and civilian functions. Drill consists of the following: Regulation, Exhibition, Inspection
​
We offer 4 different special teams in our unit. These include Color Guard, Armed Team, Unarmed Team, and Saber Team. Each team has their own unique purpose, for instance...
​
Color Guard
The Color Guard is responsible for presenting the colors (American, State, and Service flags) for the playing of the National Anthem at special community, and school events. The commander is responsible for organizing and training the members of the Color Guard. Activities the Color Guard supports may include; school varsity sports games, community functions, and other special events on request.

Armed
The Armed Team is focused on learning their rifle’s respective manuals. For exhibition, this team can do many moves that would otherwise be prohibited (spinning rifles, tossing rifles, throwing rifles, etc).
Remind: @vmhsarmed
​
Unarmed
The Unarmed Team is essentially standard military marching; without the use of rifles. For exhibition, this team performs a percussive routine in which you use your body as an instrument (clapping, snapping, stomping, etc.).

Saber
Saber Team is an armed drill team specializing in drilling and ceremony. We perform regulation, exhibition, and cordon. The most prominent Saber Team event is Military Ball. Cadets will be taught how to properly handle and use a sword while drilling.

We are always invited to present the colors and places outside of our own school. You will get many leadership opportunities in this team. This is my 3rd year in Color Guard. Last year, my junior year, I was on the Armed Team, Honor Guard, and I did a Cordon detail.
