The Purdue Drill Team, composed of student members from the Army,
Navy and Air Force ROTC units, has earned the well-deserved pride of Purdue university
students. Devoted to the development of precision drill, this team never ceases to
enthrall those who witness an exhibition. Competition is keen in the selection of
the team which is chosen from a pledge class trained from six to ten weeks. Some
of the competition drill meets in which the group participates are: the Cherry Blossom
Festival, local events, and competition with other universities and colleges. Their
teamwork and intricate maneuvers earned them an outstanding record.
