  • Sad to say all the teams that were good in the old days, suck now. My school used to go to nationals every year. Now we struggle to make it to states. Dedication, discipline and, hard work no longer exist in the program.

  • these routines where not easy (physically exhausting when you have to do them several hours a day, day in and day out even when you're not even in school...yes we had off campus training too and with weapons-i built a replica of those rifles & it fired)..because of who was in charge (the Major), who accepted nothing less than perfection from all drill team members regardless of team affiliation. cant speak for them these days but i don't knock em because i was part of that era's JV team.

  • I love these videos. I actually know all of these people in the videos. I was in the Scottish Guard my freshman year until i had to relocate to cali. BW was the BEST during the 94'-00' time frame. im class of 00'.The great high school glory days...I've seen the 2011 crew and they are nowhere near as precise as these guys were...we actually had to spill plenty of blood @ times in order to get the routines down as awesome as they where and have the strength to stop the spins on a pin point.

  • Comment removed

  • Im surprised they have been doing the same routine for over 10 years.

    The reason they are so good is because the same group of kids learn this routine together from their freshmen years to their senior years. Same exact routine... by the time they reach senior year, they better be this good. Especially since they do the same routine every year for 4 years

  • @chris1083 Not exactly. Freshmen year, freshmen went through a generic and simply training in the Scottish Guard. One or two may make it to the JV team, but it was rare. Sophmores an some juniors were in the JV, or Royal Guard, that performed a watered down and simpler version of the varsity routine. Juniors and Seniors comprised of Blackwatch and the final routine was much more demanding and a far cry from the JV routine. So the same routine was not performed by these guys for 4 years straight.

  • @chris1083 So it was more of a progression through the years.

  • omg.... ok...seriously... I have got to say these guys are the best... I don't know how they ever found that many people good enough to do shit like that... but these guys are better than ANY team I have ever seen.....seriously. And by any team I mean any including military drill teams like the four horsemen.. i am amazed..

  • @0xXdillonXx0 they suck shit now.

  • dude 5 pound rifles hahah dont be jealous dude all of those weapons are 8.69 pounds so dont be mad just because you cant make them look like a peice of plastic hahah this guy dont know drill

  • They were cool, but come on... 5lb rifles dont fucking count. 

  • @urgayifyoureadthis 9 and a half pounds

  • @urgayifyoureadthis haha really? 5 lb? It's nationals. you think they let them in with 5 lb rifles? they check you know.

  • @urgayifyoureadthis Those weapons were only used during competition. The weapons had real chrome on them so they weren't used for practice. In the practice weapons, I knew some Black Watch members who would put weights in their practice weapons, so when they used these weapons, they FELT like 5 pounds. These guys would squeeze tennis balls flat. I saw them.

  • the best the best team in my oppinion in their time of course

  • Perfect

  • 4 people do unarmed.

  • these guys are genetically engineered to spin and make it look simple.

  • UMMM THIS IS SOOOO EASY MANN

  • @bbvante25 U Think so?

  • Gay

  • whats up with the ending

  • @ccarcamo713 >_> ok then they shuold put that in the desc

  • THEY R REALLY GOOD, POSTED A COMMENT A WHILE BACK, AND GOT THE VIDEOS MIXED UP, I WISH WE WERE LIKE THIS WHEN I WAS IN JROTC, THERE REALLY GOOD, HEARTSTOPPING...........

  • failed. you dont saluit indoors

  • @LetsPlayTime you fail completely, their running a regulation sequence for nationals. and, its salute, not sauit..

  • @LetsPlayTime you do when it's a drill deck

  • @LetsPlayTime Fail, because you do when Inspection with judges are present. GTFO and actually go to a competition, other than a JV local.

  • This team used to be the best. Now francis lewis, flour bluff, mcarthur and John Jay silver eagles left them behind. I like the exhibition routine it's precise and difficult.

  • The judges probably pissed their pants after 5:05

  • 5:28 the marines would shit if they saw that (and they probably did)

    theyre so anal about weapons safety that someone pointing a 2x4 cut out to look like a rifle at another person would be grounds for a royal ass kicking.

  • @USNAski19 the marines do drill like this. its called the silent drill team

  • those guys are amazing

  • whoa, all officers?

  • texasdrillereagle is a hopeless faggot who jacks off to every drill video he sees because he wishes he could drill... then he has the nerve to talk shit. the simplest thing to do is ignore/block him. just look at his channel comments... nobody likes him. everyone should just block him so there's one less fag on youtube.

  • at least i got the balls to say whats on my mind pussy

  • over the fucking internet? yeah... you REALLY got balls. just look at yourself... you pick fights with people over youtube. fuckin pathetic bitch

  • true that just like you threaten people that start fights, and what i meant was i dont give a fuck what people think about me, BBEEEEYATCHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Texasdrillereagle

    yup you're a faggot hypocrite

  • umm in what way

  • @Mikama5

    yeah man

  • is this army or marine jrotc?

  • @dilwo

    uh it looks like marine

    look at their uniforms in inspection,

  • its army you idiot

  • @Texasdrillereagle

    not my fault that the uniforms look tan making them look like marine

  • but they dont look tan, so it is your fault

  • @Texasdrillereagle

    uh huh

    i bet you obsess yourself with blackwatch, dont you

    but oh well

    obsessing with them isnt going to help your drill team

    so texasdrillerbitch, i advise you to stop bitchin over the internet

    you are the most pathetic driller on my mind right now

    until you put up some videos and prove that you can drill better

    so go fuck with someone else

    or ill throw a rifle that fucks you in the face

  • no i hate blackwatch so that got shot to hell, and not only ae YOU the most pathetic driller on my mind your the most pathetic i've ever seen, so fuck you, you dont know shit about drill, so stfu you queer i've seen other comments you've made on youtube your clueless about everything

  • @Texasdrillereagle

    lmao

  • el paso dick, the mighty eagle guard

  • @Texasdrillereagle

    so you're the mighty eagle guard from el paso dick,

  • Somerset.

  • Our first competition is in 2 weeks and we're gonna kick some ass.

  • Awesome Job, truely amazing! I was on the squad from '90 to '93 under Major, and commanded the '93 team. What a dedicated group of individuals maintaining a tradition of excellence for almost 2 decades! Nemo Me Impune Lacessit.

    BW '93

  • man...they sounded scary as hell at 5:10

  • BackWatch today..is Shitty No...If drill was Like this Today, Drill would Become way better.

  • they arent shitty..they just arent like how they were before...they still are a great team but just not as great...

  • is that moad in the first squad in the beggining.

  • moad?

  • mike moad....hes just one of the best drillers to ever come out of texas...he was commander of black watch when they won nationals and the next year when they were robbed of 1st and got 2nd.

  • what were they saying at the end?

  • wtf is with the ending?...

  • Comment removed

  • I meant to type Miguel. And cant forget Herbie there in the front.

  • 0:27 faggots

  • good video pecision and complexity to get to that point everyone had to be dedicated

  • Black watch is some kind of elite unit in the british army right?

    Well this team's school name is "winston church hill high school" Winston church hill was the prime minister of Britain that lead them to win the war against germany. So they named their drill team after that elite unit of the british army.

  • Black Watch is a Scottish Unit

  • as an actual military unit they are

    this is a high school drill team in the US

    the school is winston churchill High school

    therefore in ode to the school's name Black watch was used

  • Why you guys call yourselves the Black Watch? Do you with any affiliation with the Royal Highlanders in the British Army?

  • its a Senior High School in San Antonio, TX named after Winston Churchill so just about every team drill, color, honor guard is named after a British regiment

  • Thanks for the info. But surely there must be a reason why this drill team is named after the Black Watch specifically right? Or was it completely random?

  • Wat Branch is tat?

  • Great drill work lads , but where is your kilts ,

  • A yankee black watch lmao

  • go blackwatch i idolize all of there commanders there always the best of the best i wish so much to reach that someday. i would just love to have someone do a video of a team i was in command of like this and look back and be proud of me and my fellow drill members these videos are nothing but motivation and something for me to strive for.

  • dey dont know what they r doin as far as dress right dress wen ur on a end ur suppose to look straight

  • Squad Leaders look straight, the rest of the squad turns their head to the right. What are you talking about?

  • MrWiz you have your info and grammar wrong so don't talk. Anyone on the left side looks right, on the far right side they look straight. Get your facts right before you talk.

  • that was amazing

  • Comin out here from a small town Drill Team, this amazes me. Good work gentlemen, I only wish I could do this stuff =D

  • Does anyone have a full squad and platoon run of BW from '99? I'd like to see it, all these videos online have so many edits

  • those guys are fucking NICE!!!

  • amazing! well done. I'm surprised that so many high schools from San Antonio are at this level. unmatched by any other city it seems.

  • i would say the exhibition is pretty good, but not as good as marmion academy flannigan rifles of 2007's exhbition, and that one guy in the beginning screwed up, 2 hands are allowed on the rifle at once

  • i have to disagree, although flannigan dominates at armed regulation, the exhibition category has been dominated by texas drill teams for years.

  • i wouldnt say that flannigan dominates regulation. not even close. patriot guard from francis lewis definitely takes it. but i think that flannigan did dominate the trick category at nationals last year if you saw them. everything was uniform and almost perfect.

  • these guys are fucking sick.

  • By that time I was already gone and in the Army. Major and I split on really bad terms and haven't had anything to do with him.

  • pretty much the entire 90's. I made varsity the school year after they won Nationals in 96. State...Black Watch and Queens Guard were feared.

  • Kings Guard*

  • 97-99

  • I was on one of the teams under the major

  • The commander of the team was the BN commander. The rank it's real, just for uniform purposes. They did everything together, we believed that we were only as strong has our weakest link. With Maj. Mike...we weren't weak!

  • where to start...Black Watch isn't what they used to be because Maj. Mikesell retired. He drilled his teams hard. The class B uniforms were used because of Nationals. The was no rank on drill team. The teams consisted of the best. The teams were formed during the summer. Sometimes freshmen made it, usually not!

  • Its common courtesy in the military to salute back, even for the officers. and after the prepatory command, the commanders says "ho". its an army thing

  • Its respectful to return the salute when saluted, but not everyone does. Not sure what he's saying, but it really doesn't matter as long as the platoon responds properly and uniformly.

  • wait, isn't exhibition drill friggin silent?

    O__o

  • I think he says HO, but i really have no idea...

    But i believe theres certain commands hes supposed to call during inspection

    They miss knowledge questions XD.

  • It sounds like he's saying "help."

  • What is the commander saying after the prepatory command?

  • Order Go, Open Ranks Go, Dress Right Go, Ready, Go, and when calling them to attention, I'm guessing he says "Drill team, atten-hut." Like Sceptileovergrow said, the commander can basically choose what command he/she wants to call in exhibition. **Not 100% sure about that though** lol

  • Its a Churchill tradition I guess to not say the last command. For example. Dress right dress would be Dress right, HO!. Its not really a ho...more like a hua. Not sure how to spell it because i dont think its ever been written down.

  • Squad is 8 to 11 plus commander. Platoon is 12 and up plus commander. Other than that, nothing. They are both team exhibition phases.

  • Nope. Inspection, Regulation and Squad Exhibition are all the first day. Platoon exhibition, solo and tandem are on the next day.

  • they have to wear that uniform for inspection

  • fucking amazing, they should get a uniform tho, so they can look sexy. they look like they have bricks on there head lol.

  • that was so amazing how can u say they look idiaotic grow up!

  • Long live the Black Watch!

  • Lol

  • GOD gron up army brats

  • way to go Black Watch...this team along with many other San Antonio teams have consistently placed in the National finals...San Antonio seems to dominate when it comes to high school jrotc and band competitions...

  • You're kidding right? This was in the 90s...

  • there no the black watcjh

  • typical yanks playing at toy soldiers.

  • hats are a bit big and look stupid lollol

  • They're not hats, they're helmets.

  • they stll look idiotic

  • Wow, the precision snap sounds so much better than the music.

  • Too many officers, my guess is its for uniformity because of the fact that everyone but the squad leaders are c/2LT, the squad leaders are c/1LT, and the commander appears to be c/CPT, very straight forward.

  • cool... you guys are the best i've seen...

  • ooops, cap lock was on mybad.

  • WOW U GUYS ARE GOOD O_O

  • asian guy closest to the camera dosent have ranks on his cover FYI

  • its kinda hard bein let down by those you look up to

  • i used to believe u were the best .. what happened? (2007 U.S. Daytona)

  • dude, what happened?

  • alrite dude. well this movie was made a little while ago. okay then. umm .. the beginning of this year i praised black watch. b/c of this and other past videos of them. i mean like .. these vids. really got me hooked. but .. if you went to nationals .. everything really started to fall apart when mike moad left their team. he was the BN CMR. and well .. lets say that black watch is slipping farther and farther away from what it used to be

  • and whats worse .. starting at 6:05 .. is their platoon exhibition performance that won them 1st place .. shit they were amazing ..

  • oh yeah and if you wanna c that entire victorious performance. type in "Black Watch 2000 Nationals"

  • cool drill wish our drill team was that good

  • how do i download this vid?

  • All officers? Or just given those rankls for uniformity purposes?

  • hmm can someone tell me the difference between squad routine and platoon? one is exhibition and the other is reg, right?

  • Lol, now 18th I believe. So sad.

  • do you have the video of their 2007 even thought it was just days please upload it and send it to me

  • no sorry man I dont to be honest FB and TR did alot better then BW this year

  • I have it, I'll get it up sometime.

  • The first clip is their Squad Ex in 1999. Now, this year in 2007, BW is no longer what they once were. BW has gone downhill. I really wonder what has happened to the team. Though their Armed Ex isn't great, their Unarmed Ex was in the top 5 this year.

  • I Strongly agree with ya man at nats this year there Squad was terrible..... two rile broken and a missed suicide toss... didnt see there platoon though.

  • Just a guess, but from the name of your account, are you from Rattler Guard? Since you mentioned that you saw their Squad Ex, I'm guessing that you're on a team.

  • nope from Oxon hill(1st in unarmerd dual this year) over in maryland..... although im on the unarmed team I do guidon for the team and know armed drill as well

  • Lol, did you see the sparks the drop made though?!?!?!?! That was the coolest part of their routine! :D

  • Yeah I did during the squad routine it was cool to see oh can anyone upload NHSDTC 07 videos ??? KTHX

  • I have their squad up on my page. Very sad.

  • Good stuff BW.

  • i miss Churchill... never was JROTC though... none the less, i am enlisting

  • I go to chuchill high! :] Drill team (DANCE) is better though, I have to say! These people are good, but I'd never do it. How boring!!! No smiling?! You look evil!! WAAAY too serious!

  • the marine judge isnt as hard as he seems the army drill sgt I had last year IMO was more intense
