This was really awful. I'm just gonna say now. Theres no creativity whatsoever, all your moves were just too simple to the point where it got boring. y'all werent sharp at all with your moves, and it was just the same shit over and over again. When it comes to drill, you want the crowd to feel excited when they watch a drill routine. You want to do moves that make them go "wow" and not "I can do that in my sleep"
did u notice3 out of the 5 are officers? n the srill suck...im in color guard and our commander would KILL us if we did that badly...nice spins though
i couldnt agree more sergeant. i am in the ajrotc as a corporal and i am the leading drill rifle spinner on the team. i had to coach a second year cadet on how to spin a rifle. i even made up my own drill routine for our veterans day assembly and we had almost 2 and a half months of practice to get it.
Wow, i hate to say it, but i would be embarrased to call them MY drill squad.
The routine itself looks quite good, but the squad is all over the place. If i didn't know any better, i'd say they were probibly given the routine a week or so before this video.
As a Ceremonial Drill Squad Commander myself, i wouldnt have dreamt putting this squad infront of anyone as they are. they need a hell of a lot of practice, half of them don't know what they're doing.
The cadets could do some of the drill pretty well individually, but that isn't the point of an Honor Guard. You need to do it TOGETHER, and in sync. That's why white hats aren't taught advanced rifle drill, but the red hats, who have already had 2 years of practice at being in step are. Nice try.
ok, wow. umm, if your going to pass off as part of the HG, please respect the HG and atleast wear the HG uniform, all of it. second, the movements were of white hat caliber and a new member to the HG at that. but i can say i have seen worse so your not the worst but not the best, keep working on it. good luck
if they all were in step and on time with one another it would be a great performance... Use your peripheral vision.. it helps alot.. and what was with the mark time..one of the cadets was only lifting his heels 2 inches off the ground
I like the routine overall, but I do have some pointers. First off Not everyone's the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon, I would recommend you use some commands like the clicking of the heels or something to that effect. Second In my opinion the show was too "ho hum" if you will, People want to see something that catches the eye, not a bunch of facing movements... And always remember you're working with civilians not trained military personel.
Hmm...cadet in back was off step in the beginning. One cadet seemed to be a little later than the others, but thay may have been intentional. I dunno. Either way, better than me. I'm not even in my squadron's drill team. Not that we have one, though...I think they're trying to get one started, though. Might as well sign up.
well your highschool team isnt trained to do 2types of rifle drill and a military funeral in 2 weeks. but you do have my respect for using the 9 pound rifles. my baby is a 9 pound 8 ounce replica of the M1 garand and shes been faithful to me for 2 years but i know how hard they are to master.
They look like they are off to a good start. They need to work on timing, and the Mark Time needs to be a lot higher. But, for a HG that is just starting out, it's looking good.
It is what it is.....young kids learning. Everyone starts somewhere!

Last guy was off step walking in, did an okay job covering it up...
He was fast at times, slow at times and because he was on the end, you noticed it a lot..
It got a little sloppy, stop the secondary movements! XD
But other than a few things, it would have been good if it was sharper and cleaner.

Add in some commands and heel clisking, maybe pin your arms while spinning, and maybe try to stay in step. Keep on working on it.
