EventsDrill Team Events: 3 Teams compete in competitions in basic drill and ceremony. Teams practice during and after school for these meets. Categories at the drill meets include Unarmed Platoon (3 squads of 4 people and a commander), Unarmed Squad (6 cadets in a line and a commander), Unarmed Individual, Armed Platoon (with rifles), Armed Squad (with rifles), Armed Individual, and Color Guard (Two flag bearers in the middle and two rifle bearers on either side of the flags. There is also a game called knock out where everyone makes one formation and basic drill commands are called and when you mess up, you are out.
The Drill Team, in all Texas meets that I have been to is somewhat different than the one you posted. Most formations are a 3X3 with a commander, for both armed and unarmed. There is a regulation, and exhibition. The regulation is done by a list of commands that must be done sequentially and by FM 22-5. The exhibition, however you can do quite a few things, such as tossing the weapons or use your own made up commands. The Armed is divided into two categories, de-militarized weapons or facsimile weapons. They do this so the inspection section will be fair, and there is an armed individual drill, where you twirl the weapon OrienteeringEvents: 2 Orienteering is a team not just in JROTC but in the actual world as well. What you do is you get a map of an area. The difficulty of it depends on the color you are at. The colors are White, Yellow, Orange, Red and Green. Essentially the darker, the harder. You have a set limit to complete the course, which is usually about three hours. After that, you're DSQ'ed for the day. The competitions usually last about 2 days. After the 2 days are completed, the judges add up the times for both days and give awards to the top three in each course, male and female. The teams with the three best times are awarded best teams overall.
Orienteering is divided by Male/Female/Co-ed or by course color. They compete in straight line or Score O. Straight line is where you go to pt 1, then pt 2 and so on. They are divided into courses. White, being the easiest, then Yellow, Orange, Brown, Green, Red, and Blue being the hardest. They average to 3-6km in each course. In Score O however, they give you all the points on the field on the map. Your goal is to go to as many points you can and come back within the time limit. The average time limity to be DQ'ed is approximately 1.5-3 hours depending on which course you are running.
