DRILL TEAM

"Precision in Action, Pride in Excellence"

The Plant City High School Drill Team is a dedicated, elite unit within our Corps of Cadets, focusing on precision, discipline, and military bearing. As a cornerstone of the JROTC program, our team trains rigorously to master the manual of arms and competitive marching. We compete at regional and state levels, representing our school with pride and upholding the highest standards of excellence. Through unwavering teamwork, we transform individual dedication into unified strength, transforming "me" to "we."
