The experiences from this trip were unique and will be remembered by all cadets.

2011 Tiger Drill Meet Success

What a great day at the Clemson Tiger Drill Meet. Our team of 16 practiced hard and had a great attitude throughout the entire process. C/Major Wrennall did a fantastic job getting the team ready. Five events entered and two trophies--this was just part of the story as our unarmed element was excellent and with a little more practice--we'll get it next time. Our color guard was exceptional with a minor error which cost us--competition was intense. Congratulations to Cadet Olivia Williamson and Cadet Jesse Michael for their unbelievable IDR Armed competition 3rd Place finish. Also Cadet Williamson's Individual Armed Exhibition routine as she took 2nd place honors.
