Teams
Introduction
North Salem has two drill teams, Armed and Un-Armed. These two pictures show just a small part of the rigor that these teams endure. Above, the Un-Armed team goes through their regulation drill routine shrortly followed by a exhibition routine. Before that, they go through a 10-15 minute inspection seen below. They are graded on their uniform, knowledge, and military bearing.
Drill Team
We field two military-style drill teams that perform and compete throughout the Northwest. We have both a unarmed and armed drill teams, each team normally consisting of 15 to 21 cadets, most of which are on both teams. In 2010 at the last drill meet in Bend, unarmed drill team placed 3rd while armed placed 4th.
Color Guard
We have 3 top rated teams that make more that 60 appearances a year at community, school, regional, and natlional events and competitions. In 2010 Color Guard A placed 1st while Color Guard B placed 2nd.
Rifle Team
We have two Sporter-class air rifle teams that compete under the National Standard 3-Position Air Rifle Rules. In 2010, our Precision Air Rifle Team palced 1st and had 3 of the top six finishers.
Physical Training Team
In 2010 our PT team placed 4th at the Drill Meet in Bend along with one of our cadets placing 6th in individual fitness. The Viking Battalion has had a good start to the new year with more to follow at the drill meet here at our home on February 13th, 2010!
