For now, though I’d like to see more moves that are listed in the drill and ceremonies manuals actually used in competition. It gives the cadets more to work on and broadens their movement vocabulary.
The Unarmed Regulation Drill Sequence
Next, here is what I’d like to see in the Colors phase. Why? Because it gives the cadets useful movements that colors teams in the military actually perform! I’m not saying that the current sequence(s) are completely useless (close), they do need immediate updating.
*Uncasing and casing the colors is not performed in the military all that much anymore, if at all. Usually, the installation honor guard takes care of the colors and these two sequences are not used for honor guards. The uncasing and casing of the colors is accomplished out of site of the public. I’d like to see it removed from the competition sequence so that the cadets can concentrate on movements they can actually use.
