...honor. This will earn you respect, not just from the school, but from the city as well. To graduate high school as the elite exhibition drill team is a memory that will live with you forever, and something you will be able to tell your friends, family, and hopefully even your kids. Going out there with our spirits high, we will try our best to prove everyone wrong.

We have been with each other for about at least three hours a day, and even more when we count the weekend practices. From these nine months, I wouldn't want you to just take with you an experience like everyone else's who's been in the JROTC Drill Team in the past years, I want you to be able to take with you a new kind of experience. An experience like no others. An experience that puts everything else to shame. By getting first place in the annual competition tomorrow, will do just that for you. So I ask you Mustangs, after what ...
