On Saturday, 17 November the MHS NJROTC Drill Team competed in the 9th annual Bethel High School NJROTC Invitational Drill Meet against a field of 12 other schools. After a slow and disorganized start, we ended up doing rather well:
- The Marksmanship Team (Samantha Migliori, Derek Fitzgerald, and Tyler Jetjomlong) came in first overall and swept the field coming in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd as individuals.
- The Academics Team came in third. They missed just one question--there was a tie for first and second place between two teams that missed no questions.
- The New Cadet Color Guard (Alexander Velazquez, Jacob Moody, Tyler Jetjomlong, and Christian Bailey) placed third in the new cadet division. Good job to all, especially Cadet Vasquez, who commanded.
- Our new cadets placed 2nd overall in the new cadet division--a strong indication that they consistently placed high in all the events.
The common comment from the judges was that our senior armed, senior unarmed, and new cadet platoon lacked "snap, pop, and polish." That being said, we looked better than we have in recent drill meets and we are definitely on the up-ramp. Want to win more next time? Get really serious about practicing the way you will perform--pay real attention to the fine points.
Here are a few photos:

(We later determined that Migliori was transporting parts of two jeeps, a small refrigerator, and the left wing from a F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet fighter-attack aircraft..) |
