Kelvyn Park Drill Competition

My four years being in Army JROTC, I always enjoyed doing drills, marching around the school's parking lot, learning commands and all that good stuff. I participated in two drill competitions and the thrill I had when it was time to go on. I guess I am trying to say that doing drill is an art to me because art cannot only be a painting or a sculpture, but body movement. Drilling and being all in order (sometimes not always together) is a way of looking at it as art. I loved how we were all synchronized and all those cool movements that you see upclose. We all are doing one piece of art at the same time. It is amazing of the things that you do and just consider them art. It is also the adrenaline that goes along with it when you go out there facing 40 other schools that always took the gold medals home.
Drilling is art because it is a way to show others that we are competitive and that we enjoy what we love to do. And this kind of art is not only created in one day, but takes up to three months to have it fully developed. We have to choose the right people to be leaders and have a full team. We practiced and practiced until we had everything right. Drilling is my art, no matter what others think about it. It has movement and structure.
