drill teams

Synchronized parade performers

A drill team is a group that performs synchronized, precision movements—usually marching, flag work, or choreographed routines.

Military drill teams demonstrate ceremonial weapon handling and formation work.

In schools, drill teams are often associated with marching bands or dance squads, performing at halftime shows and competitions: She made the drill team her sophomore year.
