No Drill Please, We’re British

Actually, the original title doesn’t have the word “drill” in it…

For those in the American military drill world who have yet to acquaint themselves with military drill and ceremonies outside of the United States of America, allow me to introduce you to Britain’s Air Training Corps Banner Drill Competition. While it may seem odd (as I noted in the comments of the video), the video is an excellent representation of some of Britain’s top Drillers for what Americans call “Color Team” (Color Team = military; Color Guard = marching band). And, while appreciating the effort put forth by these cadets:

Broaden your exposure to drill from other countries, watch this and other videos and study photographs. By incorporating different elements of foreign drill, it can help create a more effective routine.
