My daughter is in 2nd grade and her elementary school is offering Drill Team. Well, I didn't grow up in Texas so I was really surprised it was offered at such an early age. My daughter showed interest on her own and was assigned to be a leader after the first few meetings. This video helped me a bunch to understand the organization, since I was confused how it was different than cheer. Looks like I'll be your new subscriber. Thanks!

[@AngelicaMichelle]

Hey hey! I think if you attend classes and have a relatively solid technique and musicality you could make it. Legs being higher comes with strength of your muscles and flexibility. If you work on both you could get them a bit higher, but not everyone’s leaps are as high. We do practice in summer love and we don’t get any say on the schedule of practices😅 My team starts practicing July 15th ish if that helps. Though it depends on your team

One of my biggest tips is going to your schools dance studio practices whenever they offer, before school or after school times, and if u are able to go there should be some of the other more experienced dancers that you can ask to help you on your skills if u need it, trust me it really helps! Another thing is recording yourself practicing the skills to help you see the mistakes you are doing and keep rerecording to see any improvements. So overall, just practicing your skills on a daily basis will be really helpful. I wish you the best of luck!! You will make it!!

I was on drill team as a freshman(From Utah). I found out today I will not be on that team as a sophomore, I was cut as one of 8 girls who were trying out as returning members and was the only returner cut. Now I have to find something to fill the next year of my life. Part of me is still hoping that the list was rush printed and my name was accidently left off.

[@AngelicaMichelle]

Oh my gosh girl I am so sorry. That has never happened on my team. Wish you the best, and I hope you update me on this!!!

[@emiliestewart2742]

@@AngelicaMichelle So the list was not rush printed. I didn't make make Drill Team or The Cheer Team, so I will be dancing a solo (possibly two) and hopefully being part of a high school dance class at the studio I work at If there is enough girls interested in doing it. I don't know if I'm gonna tryout for the drill team next year cuz my parents didn't want me trying out again this year. However with the looks of things right now My school's Drill team is not going to do as well as they have been the last few years. The coach is honestly just trying to win state the way our rivals did and not the way we have before. She is just hungry for the state title and is gonna hurt her girls in the process, my(although not very nice) hope is that she's gonna decide to stop coaching once the senoirs this year graduate.

@@emiliestewart2742 that’s okay girl, if I’m all honest with you, dancing a studio will always help u grow much more as a dancer than drill team♥️ and You always have my channel for fun dance content. Remember life always gives us what we need even if we don’t understand why.

Depends on your experience and the team you’re auditioning for! Some are more technical than others! Speak to your director about it :)
