A 'drill team' is a marching unit that performs military style maneuvers in parades, at air shows, football half-time shows, and other public venues. High school and college drill teams also often compete with one another in ''drill meets''.
All of the United States military service branches have an official drill team part of their respective service Honor Guard or Ceremonial Guard. The service academices have drill teams, as well as many ROTC colleges and universities and many high school JROTC organizations. In addition to standard drill commands, drill teams also perform exhibition drill in which they may perform intricate marching maneuvers along with spinning and throwing rifles, sometimes with fixed bayonets. Other types of drill teams include high school civilian drill teams that include dancers, flag twirlers, and non-martial performances. These teams perform routines that may be danced in unity to a variety of instrumental upbeat music.
