Special Teams

We have three Special Teams here at FL-51. Color Guard, Drill Team, and Sabre Team.

Color Guard

This is probably the busiest group. This elite group has the honor of presenting and posting the national and state colors at important school and community functions. This co-curricular activity provides an oppurtunity for cadets to learn how the national and state flags must be respected and presented. Distinctive uniform items such as ascots, chords, and belts w/silver buckles are worn. In the past there has been two under- classmen teams, and one senior team, but this year we have 4 underclassmen teams and one senior team.

Drill Team

Much effort is required for this activity. This is a chance to polish the basic skills learned in the first couple of years of the program. Practice will be conducted after school as required. Learning of the manual arms, extreme concentration, complete compliance with drill team commander's commands, extra care of the uniform, the desire of public recognition, and individual desire will limit these two activities to only the finest, most hard working cadets in the organization.

Sabre Team

This team is also a very elite and precise group of cadets. This team provides a team of cadets for a sabre arch for parties, weddings, the school's Homecoming court, etc. Disctinctive uniform items include ascots, belts, and sabres.
