While their performance may remind you of a military parade, their attire is far from it.

Instead of uniforms, they don vibrant indigo and green dresses reminiscent of cheerleading outfits.

Drill dance teams like this one have their roots in early pep squads and military-style drum and bugle corps. The trend started with a pep squad at Greenville High School in Greenville, Texas, in 1929.

The team, known as the “Flaming Flashes,” performed at every football game halftime.

Over time, the “Flaming Flashes” evolved from basic marching stunts and letter displays to incorporating baton twirling and dance steps.

With guidance from the band director at Port Arthur High School in southeast Texas, they transformed into a precision drum and bugle corps. It’s a testament to the power of progress and innovation.
