This funny thing called "drill"

When most people think of drill they think this;


Yeah.. not that.






I'm talking about this;

THIS is a "drill team." A sport (kind of in between ROTC and cheer) that's pretty select to the Seattle/Washington area, though there's a team in Idaho, too! Drill teams are commanded by voice and wistle and commanded by a captain (the one in the orange in the video). This is just one team, and it happens to be the All-City (A competition where all drill teams in the state come together to compete) and State (once again, a competition where all the teams [or ones sponsored by the Eagles] come together to compete) champions. I am a member of this team (The Highlanders Drill Team) and first lieutenant (second rank, one below captain). We march in parades, competitions and exhibitions around the state, in Canada and, this year, Oregon.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below(:

Anywhoo.. now that y'all know what it is...

Today, my team marched in a parade. This is my first parade in a while, due to the fact Parade Season has just begun. ("Parade Season" is the time of the year where all the parades happen... pretty simple) There's just a certain rush about performing in public.. (: I love my team so much. NICE JOB to everyone in the parade (all the teams and other groups in the parade!) I'm SO excited for the rest of Seafair week!

Thanks for reading another enormous blog post.
