Technical Drill routines are a performance of the traditional military-like style of marching of compulsory drills and set march plans.
A technical drill team comprises 7-10 marchers and perform different types of drills and quantities of movements depending of the age grade performing.
Technical Drill is precision in timing and spacing in movements and the execution and correctness of the drills and plan. Judging is based on an awarding system and the Technical Drill is covered by 4 judging positions.
The Display phase is designed for teams to perform with 7-14 marchers. The display phase is a routine of rhythmic movements to enhance the performance and is performed to own choice of music.
The Display should project the overall degree of excellence of the picture being presented' combined with the look of brilliance and versatility of the Team. Artistic and gimmicky type movements are permissible provided that, dignity and modesty is maintained.
A Display should have visual value and spectator appeal and should finish in an exciting, well planned and co-ordinated manner.
Review and Inspection routines are a performance of the traditional military style marching. Review has a main focus on intimate judging where hand positions, march times, pivots, pacing and spacing are judged.
When the team lands a their end position, the team cannot move and is awarded with points on how many calipers they correctly achieve by being calipered by the Review and Inspection Judge.
