St. John's Military School "Drill Team" & "Color Guard" video

www.sjms.org St. John's Military School Old Boy, Rick Taylor, '63, made it possible for the school to produce this video of the Precision Rifle Drill Team and the Color Guard. Both groups have competed across the United States and regularly participate in ceremonies across the state of Kansas. "Military School" means discipline, leadership, academic success, structure, and self-confidence.

In class of 72 we used real M-14s with Bayonet's and not only sharper uniforms with spats and helmets but at 3 times times the speed

The team needs a lot of work. There's no intensity or control of the rifle slams, nor on the spins. Angles of execution and cutaways all need a lot of work. The routine itself is pretty boring, actually. Also, I would change the commanders outfit to the same as those on the team, it takes away from people looking just at the commander because the white stands out, and rather looking at the team as a whole. Commander, starting at 7:22 YOU NEED to keep your mouth closed. Its improper bearing.

Haha yeah I was gonna say this is embarrassing.

@SF21 its cool, i understand your taking up for your team, just throwing out some tips. I graduated c/LTC from my ROTC Battalion. Check out the highlights from the Nationals at Daytona Beach from 2003-2005. You'll see the program that i participated in get ridiculously creative with it. I'm even willing to send old videos if you would like trick ideas for upcoming drill meets.

The 113th Corps is still at the top of the list. We set the first record during AFI.

[@stlmoable]

Classes 79 - 81 were way better! Our uniforms were way cooler too!

[@br2266]

Wow can’t say words correctly, and not in unison. My how the standards have gotten so lax

[@My_Ambitious_Success]

it lacked creativity, i seen numerous school perform theses trick and alot more difficult ones. The cadet in the white uniform demonstrates great skills in exhibition but the platoon lacks percision. Practice will help the precision and im sure that the Commander can create a more appealing sequence that brings more out of the platoon instead of depending on his solo. The 'juggling" yall perform shows no difficulty at all, space it out more and insert a few spins while tossing the weapons.
