precision drill
Coordinated group movement
Precision drill is a style of marching in which a group moves in exact synchronization, executing sharp turns, formations, and movements with military-style discipline.
The term applies to both the activity and the units that perform it: The precision drill team practiced for months before the competition.
Common in military ceremonies, ROTC programs, and competitive marching bands.
