Drill Team

Some people might think that drill is a big joke. I have to admit that I used to one of these people. I always thought that drill was stupid and such an easy sport, with these girly girls who wore tight skimpy outfit. I was very wrong however. Recently I had the opportunity to be apart of the dance company at the school and participate in their drill competition. I thought that it was going to be really stupid. I wasn't really excited at first. I had to come early in the mornings and stay late after school. For one practice we went to uvsc and wached a competition. All the other schools were really amazing. They were all so uniform and perfect. Plus the stuff they did wasn't easy at all. I was really impressed and my impressions of drill started to change. It takes a lot of hard work to do drill. Not only do you have to practice the routine over and over. you have to have every element of that routine uniform. All the feet and hads have to match perfectly or the judges will mark you down. They are really picky. Plus when you put that much precision and energy into your dance it can be really tiring. There were a couple times that I thought I was going to throw up because I was working so hard. Drill team is not a bunch of ditzy girls, it is made up of really smart hard working girls. It can be just as hard or even harder as any other sport. Plus it isn't just a bunch a people running around with a ball it is true art.
