The Purdue Drill Team was founded by seven ex-servicemen in 1947. It was organized in order to develop proficiency in military drills and promote teamwork and cooperation. Composed of student members from the Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC units, the Drill Team has made an outstanding record by its perfect teamwork in intricate maneuvers. The Team participates in many contests which are climaxed by the famous Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C., and it has remained undefeated for nearly a decade. This outstanding record has earned Purdue the unofficial title of National Champions of drill competition.
