left right
Drill sergeant's chant
Left right is a cadence call used to synchronize marching, with each word corresponding to the foot that should strike the ground: Left, right, left, right, left.
Drill sergeants and band directors use it to keep groups moving in unison.
The phrase can describe any back-and-forth alternation: His eyes darted left right across the page.
