The same goes for cheer-like routines (mainly, and possibly only seen in some southern California unarmed teams). There is very little military flavor in these routines: the members of these teams sing the whole time during the routine and execute cheer arm movements while dressed as majorettes. Please don’t get me wrong, I also enjoy watching these routines and applaud them, but these teams are not military drill teams. Military-esque, sure, but competing against other more military oriented unarmed teams, they wouldn’t stand a chance, they would have to compete in their own sub-phase of XD.
Influences are just great and can add “spicy” variations to a military drill team’s XD routine and I am all for that! Many armed Drillers take influences from different spinning activities for instance, the rifle XD move called the Fire Knife. This is cool stuff and I really appreciate it when I get to judge routines with outside influences: I get to enjoy the routine and learn something new at the same time.
Variety is great! And we can have variety within a military drill team’s routine.
