My daughter is in 2nd grade and her elementary school is offering Drill Team. Well, I didn't grow up in Texas so I was really surprised it was offered at such an early age. My daughter showed interest on her own and was assigned to be a leader after the first few meetings. This video helped me a bunch to understand the organization, since I was confused how it was different than cheer. Looks like I'll be your new subscriber. Thanks!
Drill team tryouts are in 2 weeks. I’ve been trying to get my splits for the past month to be more flexible and have better leaps. But I’m extremely nervous. This really helps out
Nissi Jaimes Hey! Splits are definitely part of the try out process for flexibility, but don’t be nervous! You’re working very hard and you just have to show them your best performance during auditions! Good luck❤️ pls lmk how it goes!
At my school the drill coach is so amazing and she has her own dance company/studio so she lets everyone come and work on their skills and learn EVERYTHING you need for tryouts
My tryouts are April 15!! Wish me luck! I’ll update this comment with the results!! Also thanks for all these tips! I love you and your channel so much!! ❤❤❤ Update: Sadly I didn’t make it, but I will keep practicing and try out again next year
I’ve been doing dance 6 going on 7 years and I’m only going into 8th grade but this video was very comforting(i guess you could say) and helpful even thought I don’t need it until towards the end of 8th grade but great to know what I should work on so thank you for this video.
i’m in 8th grade and i go in to highschool in a few months. i’m thinking about joining drill team i’m very nervous , i’m starting to work on my skills but i doubt i’ll make it. this video helped me a lot !
im in jv drill team and im trying out for varsity next month!! im honestly kinda excited but also nervous since there’s a lot of girl trying out but overall cant wait, plus im going to go to these prep classes!
this video is super old but my tryouts are in a few weeks!! its spring break rn so im taking the intensive route to get ready n this vid is super useful ❣ im in tx too and when u got to the competition section i noticed our schools competed with each other this year!! you guys are still awesome
hi!! i’m auditioning next week for JV drill team and i’m so nervous. i have been dancing for 10 years, competitively for 4, but there are a lot of girls that are still stronger than me trying out. i mostly struggle with russian leaps. i have a competition with my studio the same day as tryouts and i have no idea how that will work out. thank you for this video, i’m sure you’ve helped so many people!
hey girl i was just watching dance videos and came across your video i loved listening to this I’m def willing to tryout again this was so helpful thank you gorgeous!! -anta
@@AngelicaMichelle My tryouts are April 15!! Wish me luck! I’ll update this comment with the results!! Also thanks for all these tips! I love you and your channel so much!! ❤❤❤
I’m currently on my JV drill team and prepping for my audition for varsity thanks for all the information it’s really helpful, also im in Texas too which was nice
Try outs are this month im scared because im not so flexible but im almost there also it is texas and its a drill team but im scared because im not to good but ik the basics and idk where to start i mite ask my dance teacher in school and a studio I barely started so i hope that i make it but i will try to push myself a bit more harder to be flexible and watch as much tips that i can
My mom has done dance/drill team and I always wanted to do it. I’m going to be doing hip hop dancing classes if that helps at all. Thanks for the tips!🎉❤
I’m auditioning for drill team next month and i’m soooo scared!! I am trying to get as flexible as i can and since the pandemic i can’t go to dance classes :( wish me luck😭
Hey Lovely!! I’m going to be posting dance technique content, and since you can’t take classes I recommend you go look at them♥️😘 even for next year!! Lots of love
I really want to try out for my drill team, and it's crazy how her I think middle name is Michelle, which is my name and the fact that she posted this on my birthday is a huge coincidence!
Angelica Michelle Oh my gosh, thank you and I will! Tryouts should hopefully be this November/December, and I’ve been practicing for a couple months now on the basic skills.
Hey sorry that I’m late but I want to try out this year and I am teaching my self all the skills for drill team because there no drill team prep classes where I live.But I got my splits down but need to get my leaps.Do you have any tips?
There is this one girl from Houston who was in the University of Houston Dance Team. She has a RUclips channel. (Look up Houston Dance team vlogs and you should find her channel). She makes some videos about technique, etc. Check her out for some Yelp in that área :)
I wanna try out for drill team for my freshman year as I didn't have courage to do it in middle school I'm rn in eighth and really wished I had joined sooner. But, I do know a few techniques that I taught my self I just need to learn splits and leaps. Do you think I could make it?
Hey!! This is going to be my second year in my drill team and idk if y’all have a specific name for it but where I’m from in Texas we’re called Larriets and I actually just had to sign up to be in it but that’s just for a line member if you want to be a officer/Lt/assitant capt/captain you have to try out and a few weeks ago before school started we were able to go to houston Texas for camp it was really tiring and exhausting but super fun and worth it
During auditions our directors don’t judge, they’re just in there for support and are always smiling. Look at them! And at the end of the day remember it’s just a dance and you’re meant to enjoy performing it :)
juliee carson hey!! I’m not registered in one specific studio myself. I take drop in classes every 2 weeks or so. I personally have to balance an AP curriculum with dance, so I don’t constantly take classes outside of the team!❤️
I practically/almost just got my splits yesterday and I’m trying to learn all the techniques this February, do you think I could make it in time? Also do you have any tips for lifting your legs higher in the air when doing a jump split/jete leap/stationary/toe touch/etc.? Anddd one more thing, do you usually go to summer practice in July becausee that’s my bday and I kinda wanna enjoy it without sweating/being tired😅
same here!! idk if i'll be able to learn all the skills in less than a month and i only have my left splits but not my right. turns and leaps are sooooo difficult and im really trying! tryouts are march 1st-5th alsoo about the birthday thing! you should celebrate prior to camp because you're gonna need to do that in order to be on the team trust me it'll be worth it!
Hey hey! I think if you attend classes and have a relatively solid technique and musicality you could make it. Legs being higher comes with strength of your muscles and flexibility. If you work on both you could get them a bit higher, but not everyone’s leaps are as high. We do practice in summer love and we don’t get any say on the schedule of practices😅 My team starts practicing July 15th ish if that helps. Though it depends on your team
@@AngelicaMichelle update!! i got my russian and basic leap :0 turns are a challenge and im still working on my right split! tryouts are monday-Wednesday 😅

Stretch and build that technique in classes! It's not a skill most can get in a short amount of time, but I've had some friends do it and I know it's possible!
hi! I'm hoping to try out for the JV drill team for my high school for freshman year. tryouts are 13 days away, and I have little to no experience with stretching or splits. any advice? :)
same! i’ve been dancing for 11.5 years but i still don’t think i’ll make it :/ i feel like everyone that’s on the team right now is soooo much better and i’m really nervous for my tryouts.
@@attisynnorton8049 hey! The teams have a range of acceptance, not everyone is always on the same level technique wise, but through the years we all grow in our own ways. You can maje it just work hard!
Hi! I have auditions in a couple of weeks and I have everything down besides kicks and leaps. I can do it but I’m not the best at it. Is there anyway I could get a few tips? I know everything else besides the kicks 😅
plie a lot for leaps and extend your legs all the way to make sure they're straight. Kicks are something you're usually not expected to be perfect at when you audition! hope this helps. Ask me any questions you have on the comment I left pinned above!
Hi Angelica I love u name btw lol but I’m trying out for drill team in march so soon 😅and I’m not sure if I will make it because I just know my right spilts , a right leap , and sorta a double turn pirouette , and a high kick and I need to work on a lot but I wanted to know if they pick people who are just starting ?
I don’t know if you’re gonna see this but I want to try out for my schools varsity drill team next year in April I was on JV freshman year and I try out for jv for my sophomore year and didn’t make do you have any other tips that would help me make varsity for my junior year?
Im trying out for my JV drill team and I have so many questions!? Do you need to have your spilts to make it cause i've been dancing for 11 years competitively for 6 years but i still don't have my spilts so do you need them to make the team??
I’m in 8th grade, I don’t really have any previous training but I REALLY love dancing and im trying out for my highschool’s drill team in April. I’m trying to learn everything I need, but as someone who doesn’t have any training, just drive, are my chances good? The director said she looked for potential overall, and I have good showmanship. I’ve tried out for dance company and scored high on artistry but about average or maybe a little bit below on technique. Does anyone have any advice for me?? It’s something I really want and will work hard for but I want to be realistic
Flexibility! Go take a technique class or do some online. Point your feet and try to look coordinated even if you’re not super confident in technique yet!
Dance is definitely more than just flexibility. It involves technique, quality of movement, and performance quality too. Try to take some dance classes before try outs so you can be as prepared as you can and have a higher chance of making it. Good Luck babe♥️
I have never done dance but i'm trying out for the drill team. I have done competitive cheer for 7 years so I have good rhythm and flexibility, but i'm nervous since i've never done dance. Any recommendations??
@@lachellee Hii there, I made it to the JV team last week. One of my biggest tips is going to your schools dance studio practices whenever they offer, before school or after school times, and if u are able to go there should be some of the other more experienced dancers that you can ask to help you on your skills if u need it, trust me it really helps! Another thing is recording yourself practicing the skills to help you see the mistakes you are doing and keep rerecording to see any improvements. So overall, just practicing your skills on a daily basis will be really helpful. I wish you the best of luck!! You will make it!!
Does anyone know if I can try out for drill team for my senior year? i have no dance background but I am practicing all the techniques that I’ve researched for it.
My tryouts are this month and my school is split so it’s like only 9-10 im gonna be a sophomore next year so I don’t know if I’ll make the team for 11th if I don’t make it now im so scared I only need to get my right split me and friend is trying out together wish us luck!!I’ll be back during March 2nd remind me😭
Hey i really want to join the dance team for 9th grade but it's my first time and I have no experience at all don't really know what to expect for tryouts any tips??
First of, ask if you can actually be in the varsity team during your freshman year. Most teams don't allow that because try outs happen the year previous to your joining! If you haave any questions at all, ask me on the comment I left pinned above!!
Hi!!! I am actually the social president so yes for sure. My best friend is captain too. Ask me any questions on the comment I left pinned above. I want to make an even more in depth video for this!
Hey I’m in 8th grade I did middle school drill team from 7-8 grade and wanna try out for high school fo I need to take privates at a studio or something to make it?
dude i wanted to join my first semester but a friend said i’d have to wait until second semester which would be like competition 🙁. and i’m rlly rlly nervoys
I was on drill team as a freshman(From Utah). I found out today I will not be on that team as a sophomore, I was cut as one of 8 girls who were trying out as returning members and was the only returner cut. Now I have to find something to fill the next year of my life. Part of me is still hoping that the list was rush printed and my name was accidently left off.
@@AngelicaMichelle So the list was not rush printed. I didn't make make Drill Team or The Cheer Team, so I will be dancing a solo (possibly two) and hopefully being part of a high school dance class at the studio I work at If there is enough girls interested in doing it. I don't know if I'm gonna tryout for the drill team next year cuz my parents didn't want me trying out again this year. However with the looks of things right now My school's Drill team is not going to do as well as they have been the last few years. The coach is honestly just trying to win state the way our rivals did and not the way we have before. She is just hungry for the state title and is gonna hurt her girls in the process, my(although not very nice) hope is that she's gonna decide to stop coaching once the senoirs this year graduate.
@@emiliestewart2742 that’s okay girl, if I’m all honest with you, dancing a studio will always help u grow much more as a dancer than drill team♥️ and You always have my channel for fun dance content. Remember life always gives us what we need even if we don’t understand why.
@@AngelicaMichelle at Johnson bahahah but I’m watching your videos cuz try outs are soon and I’m soo scared cuz this freshman’s are soo good and I’m soo badd bahaha
i made the drill team and I was so scared that some girls would be rude but they are all the kindest most beautiful girls i’ve ever met!

@@AngelicaMichelle thank you! You’re amazing. Wishing you luck on your journey. 🤍
@@TheSpotw-EmiliePodcast thank you beauty!!!
I plan on trying out for mine ❤️❤️
Glad to hear that❤️
I have realized that theres a lot of skills i need that i don't think i can learn in time as tryouts are in less than a month 😓
There's always next year. Remember drill team classes are awesome for prepping you to try out!!
Hi Angelica I love u name btw lol but I’m trying out for drill team in march so soon 😅and I’m not sure if I will make it because I just know my right spilts , a right leap , and sorta a double turn pirouette , and a high kick and I need to work on a lot but I wanted to know if they pick people who are just starting ?
It depends love! I would talk to the school director and focus on what she says they're looking for. What team?
I have been thinking about trying out for drill team . I’m a bit nervous.
I am really nervous! I am dancer but I am more of a hip hop dancer. Do you think I will fit in and it would be good to tryout?
Hey! I Think It depends on each team! Which team are you trying to try out for?
@@AngelicaMichelle Its a drill team in Houston Texas
@@swarnikasingh8208 Its only one dance team and it's a drill team. They have a hiphop dance part in the competitions they go to.
@@alexandrajimenez6686 what team love?
@@AngelicaMichelle The Lariettes and Belles drill team at George Ranch High School
I wish I could of found this video before I tried out but I did make the the team I got JV 😊
So so happy to hear that!!!🥰❤️
I don’t know if you’re gonna see this but I want to try out for my schools varsity drill team next year in April I was on JV freshman year and I try out for jv for my sophomore year and didn’t make do you have any other tips that would help me make varsity for my junior year?
I have tryouts next week for the dance team 😳😳 I'm super nervous
amelia don’t be nervous!! I believe in you you’ve got this
How did it went?!
I’m in 8th grade and I want to do this freshman year when is it best to start lessons for drill team?
Some teams are more technical than others. The more experienced you are the better always though!
I want to start my own drill team
Im trying out for my JV drill team and I have so many questions!? Do you need to have your spilts to make it cause i've been dancing for 11 years competitively for 6 years but i still don't have my spilts so do you need them to make the team??
Flexibility is sometimes part of the score sheet. Talk to your director about how they score auditions!!
@@AngelicaMichelle I made it!!!
Do you compete against the woodlands highschool drill team?
Sponge Bob good question what’s you guys’ name? If the go to CP competitions maybe
@@AngelicaMichelle Highsteppers, we also have like a sister school called reveliers.
amazing video it was really entertaining
Yay
Would you mind to subscribe my channel. I subscribed yours
my middle school does drill and i did competitive dance for 8 years do u think i could make it?
No doubt I think you are more prepared than most♥️
I’m in 8th grade, I don’t really have any previous training but I REALLY love dancing and im trying out for my highschool’s drill team in April. I’m trying to learn everything I need, but as someone who doesn’t have any training, just drive, are my chances good? The director said she looked for potential overall, and I have good showmanship. I’ve tried out for dance company and scored high on artistry but about average or maybe a little bit below on technique. Does anyone have any advice for me?? It’s something I really want and will work hard for but I want to be realistic
Flexibility! Go take a technique class or do some online. Point your feet and try to look coordinated even if you’re not super confident in technique yet!
i have no experience in dance but i’m flexible, do you think i’ll be able to make the team? I really want to make it but i feel like it’ll be hard
Dance is definitely more than just flexibility. It involves technique, quality of movement, and performance quality too. Try to take some dance classes before try outs so you can be as prepared as you can and have a higher chance of making it. Good Luck babe♥️
Answering more in depth in my video today!
I have never done dance but i'm trying out for the drill team. I have done competitive cheer for 7 years so I have good rhythm and flexibility, but i'm nervous since i've never done dance. Any recommendations??
Also this year is the first year my high school is having a drill team so I know the expectations won't be super high, but I still want to do good.
are they looking more at progressions or how well you execute the dance?
Both!!
i have tryouts in 2 weeks and we only get to learn the choreo in 2 days .. online .. that’s gonna be hard😭
You got this!!
Did you make it??
yes i did
@@valeriaaguirre5969 Congrats!!🎉 Got any tips for me with leaps? Tryouts is April 17 🙈
@@lachellee Hii there, I made it to the JV team last week. One of my biggest tips is going to your schools dance studio practices whenever they offer, before school or after school times, and if u are able to go there should be some of the other more experienced dancers that you can ask to help you on your skills if u need it, trust me it really helps! Another thing is recording yourself practicing the skills to help you see the mistakes you are doing and keep rerecording to see any improvements.
So overall, just practicing your skills on a daily basis will be really helpful. I wish you the best of luck!! You will make it!!
Does anyone know if I can try out for drill team for my senior year? i have no dance background but I am practicing all the techniques that I’ve researched for it.
Depends. Most teams have u try out a year before u join the team. If you’re a senior right now I’m not sure, but if you’re a Junior maybe you can!
i wanna join the drill team for my junior year but i’m so scared because i’m not even flexible :( i’m burly getting the splits 😩
I believe in u!
I was wondering what happens if you tryout and dont make it?
Depends on your school! Mine you simply have to try again next year
hello im trying to do drill team and when u first go up there do to dance on your own?
no you do it in groups!
My tryouts are this month and my school is split so it’s like only 9-10 im gonna be a sophomore next year so I don’t know if I’ll make the team for 11th if I don’t make it now im so scared I only need to get my right split me and friend is trying out together wish us luck!!I’ll be back during March 2nd remind me😭
best of luck!!
@@AngelicaMichelle I MADE THE TEAM!!!
@@nylas.5195 OMG♥️
Is there tumbling involved? Because my tumbling is not that good
Nope! That would be cheerleading hahaha.
@@AngelicaMichelle my team i am trying out for has tumbling and most dance teams do
@Riah Reagan that’s cool! Just Not common in the Houston area :)
Hey i really want to join the dance team for 9th grade but it's my first time and I have no experience at all don't really know what to expect for tryouts any tips??
First of, ask if you can actually be in the varsity team during your freshman year. Most teams don't allow that because try outs happen the year previous to your joining! If you haave any questions at all, ask me on the comment I left pinned above!!
Hey! Gonna be answering your question in depth in my video today♥️
Im shooting for the varsity team wish me luck!
Good luck bestie!
@@AngelicaMichelle I made varsity thank you sm!!🥹🙏🏽❤️
hiii do you have anything for lieutenant/ dance officer tryout interview ?
Hi!!! I am actually the social president so yes for sure. My best friend is captain too. Ask me any questions on the comment I left pinned above. I want to make an even more in depth video for this!
Going to respond to this in a video today♥️
Hey I’m in 8th grade I did middle school drill team from 7-8 grade and wanna try out for high school fo I need to take privates at a studio or something to make it?
Depends on your experience and the team you’re auditioning for! Some are more technical than others! Speak to your director about it :)
I’m in 8th grade, and in drill team do you audition alone for with a a group?
I’m a group! At least in my team❤️
@@AngelicaMichelle Oki! Thank youuu I hope it’s the same for my school
dude i wanted to join my first semester but a friend said i’d have to wait until second semester which would be like competition 🙁. and i’m rlly rlly nervoys
I was on drill team as a freshman(From Utah). I found out today I will not be on that team as a sophomore, I was cut as one of 8 girls who were trying out as returning members and was the only returner cut. Now I have to find something to fill the next year of my life. Part of me is still hoping that the list was rush printed and my name was accidently left off.
Oh my gosh girl I am so sorry. That has never happened on my team. Wish you the best, and I hope you update me on this!!!
@@AngelicaMichelle So the list was not rush printed. I didn't make make Drill Team or The Cheer Team, so I will be dancing a solo (possibly two) and hopefully being part of a high school dance class at the studio I work at If there is enough girls interested in doing it. I don't know if I'm gonna tryout for the drill team next year cuz my parents didn't want me trying out again this year. However with the looks of things right now My school's Drill team is not going to do as well as they have been the last few years. The coach is honestly just trying to win state the way our rivals did and not the way we have before. She is just hungry for the state title and is gonna hurt her girls in the process, my(although not very nice) hope is that she's gonna decide to stop coaching once the senoirs this year graduate.
@@emiliestewart2742 that’s okay girl, if I’m all honest with you, dancing a studio will always help u grow much more as a dancer than drill team♥️ and You always have my channel for fun dance content. Remember life always gives us what we need even if we don’t understand why.
love it ♥
😘❤️
But ur my fav cavalette❤️❤️go drill team
I love you Lills😘
I made the team in middle school team
Congratulations!!!

Dance teams exist nation wide. From what I understand, the traditional drill team originated in Texas and is only a thing in Texas :)
