Description
The Marching Against The Darkness Drill Team Competition is a multi-generational event that hosts local and out-of-state drill teams from over 10 different states that highlight art & culture through dance, color guard, and percussion. These teams have been practicing all year and have traveled many hours for this very moment. This event brings out over 1,400 attendees, performers and chaperones annually. It develops future talent through performing arts for disconnected youth.
To be a competitor at this level takes dedication, teamwork, discipline, and so much more. Each team gets a limited amount of time to perform and be judged against a strict criterion. The top three places will win a trophy and cash prize. The competition serves as a recreational safe family function to provide the community a fun exciting day full of arts, culture, and entertainment for those of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds to enjoy.
