Omg I'm so glad someone has finally video taped the Silver Eagles in action. I'm proud to say that I was a part of the 1986 - 1989 Silver Eagles. Im glad to see they're still bringing home the 1st place trophies every year. Once an Eagle always an Eagle. I'm wondering when they did away with M1s.
I feel like M1 garand Drill rifles are a lot easier to use. They are centered more towards the center, making it easier to spin. The Springfield model they have are weighed with the main weights in the butt of the rifle, making it unbalanced.
Now, this is what I call perfection, they literally did the cleanest group arm exhibition I have never seen before!. Wow it’s just satisfyingly flawless.
Damn, his face, he looks like he had been through hell, regarding that he just had to do a Exhibition Drill phase, which would have made him very tired.
This isn’t wrong lol my commander isn’t a former but he is a former master sgt and man he is so competitive our trophy wall is 20 feet long, 2 shelves high and we ran out of room
Armed exhibition teams change their cadence and pace several times in order for diversity and it gives even better scores. Its quite good looking, my schools taken states in Florida and we do similar things just not as complicated. This team is exceptional and does an amazing job for the AFJROTC
Great job guys... there where so many times while I was watching that I was amazed at how in sync you guys where. It was truly difficult to find even on instance where the squad was even a hair off. You truly moved as one throughout the entire performance and I can tell you trained hard and it showes. So long ago In high school I was my MCJROTC Drill team commander. We where a new program but I can recognize you young men are truly a cut above. Keep up the hard work gentlemen and I wish you much success in your compititions
Believe it or not but the routine is decades old just modified every year. A lot of it is based off of the kings guard in Hawaii. When I was on the Team we actually had the drill master of the kings guard (Donovan White) fly from Hawaii to Texas to coach us for a few days.
I became a drill team commander two years ago right before COVID. My freshman year there was no team except for one senior who was brigade staff, and nobody else was there. The year before him there was no team. Throughout COVID I bought my own drill rifle to practice and do whatever I could to learn, and now after my two and a half year journey working every day we have a full drill team that went to competition. Despite breaking both my wrists over COVID and having surgery to shorten my ulna and the screw protruding into my wrist locking against the bones in my hand and locking my range of motion so I could barely twist my wrist, was in a splint with no weight bearing activities until 4 days before comp, and 2 of my cadets leaving with no backups, we went to competition and did very well. Historically my school does horribly at drill, but since I've trained a full platoon, squad, two color guard teams, a drill team, and 4 individuals including myself this year alone, we've placed far higher than we ever have in decades. Watching these videos shows me the bar I want to set for myself and gets me through all the valleys and rough spots on my team. So far we have one cadet being actively abused by his parents, another deep in work, and another who split his upper lip open with a rifle and had to get stitches to patch a hole in his lip the day before comp, and a whole host of issues yet discovered. Every single one of my teams went through every hardship we possibly could have and yet we came out on top, and honestly I look forward to my next year, my final year of high school.
Hell yeah brother, love the no excuses attitude. I’m a drill team commander too, working hard to set my unit up for success this year and the years to follow. Do you plan on going into the military after graduation?
not long . they all have experience and have done these moves before. though they do practice 6 days a week and repeat this routine over and over for hours in order to perfect their movements
This year, I became Drill Commander. It's also my last year in high school. I wish I could be as good as this. It would be cool if i could get my whole team to be like this. So much work and dedication was put into this. Props to those cadets. Great job!
As a commander of my drill team im making this happen the last time we went to florida was in 2015 and as a senior and class of 2022 im making it happen again this year
OUTSTANDING!!!! That's the most impressive, high cadence routine I've ever seen. This is a high school team!!! They make my college team look like kindergartners.
As a new exhibition commander, I have a question to why their commander is within the squad and not commanding alongside them. Is that a choice to do so or is it based on something else? I am also viewing these competition videos to get an idea for our squad's routine.
I am the commander in this video, we organized this over a variation of components. My angle of attack on it was, a saber component looks beautiful as THE commander however it was my LAST performance at nationals and I couldn't give it up. Hope that quickly sums it up. Good luck to you and your team!
TRILLY BILLS yea they have 4 hours practices and practice on weekends, our unit only does a practice every day for an hour not including weekends. These guys put a lot of time in and they do great.
ik there’s a poor springfield emerald guard driller watching this thinking “what’s our beef with john jay” and to answer… it all started in 2019 and that’s what you need to know
Thank you for posting these Amazing young men...somehow it was recommended to me to view a Japanese walking drill program. Well, I can definitely breath a huge sigh 😔 of relief. Our military has most assuredly got our Beloved Country covered. This was incredible! I pray every night for our Military, Country and our President. 🙇🏻♀️🙏🏽🤔❤️🇺🇸🕊
They are 8lbs Springfield 1903’s. When you practice as much as these guys it starts to feel like second nature to spin it with ease. (I don’t go to Jay but I am on a drill team in a Texas high school)
SirGimzALot there may be some members of the team that can spin at that speed but there is no way you can throw and catch an 8 pound rifle like he did at 6:39
I realize how impossible it seems but in reality it is far from it. It takes an unbelievable amount of practice and a whole lot of upper body strength; with both those things it is very possible.
Wow, excellent coordination and execution. The uniforms are terrible and some of the moves are like a cheerleading squad. Regardless was an outstanding team.
I believe it's a custom uniform they designed for their drill team (I don't know if it's exclusive to Armed or not) and to my knowledge isn't in exhibition regulation to wear an exact copy of the assigned JROTC units uniform.
Maaaannn! John jay still beasts lol they were our competition even back on 02-03 era of Holmes phantoms. Sadly, I don’t think Holmes has that motivation anymore.
These guys just destroy our team every year, but we see it as motivation to be better. Great job to these guys.
same man
My JROTC Drill Team has won the national comp 2 or 3 times in a row
Silver Eagles
My drill team just started, and luckily I made it on The competition team lol
same
And my unit cant even stay on step
felt that
Tbh
Fucking same
Same here
Bruh relatable
Never in my life have I seen an Armed Drill Team with passion, dedication, and pride as much as these cadets do. Wow
Ticci Toby I think all the jrotc groups that are air force in San antiono Texas have a little more pride because they have an air force base there
Just wait for Caesar Rodney high school from Delaware in 2019...
Which JROTC? AJROTC?
My old AJROTC was 15 miles away from an army base
Jodizzy clearly you've never seen the marine Corps silent drill team
Omg I'm so glad someone has finally video taped the Silver Eagles in action. I'm proud to say that I was a part of the 1986 - 1989 Silver Eagles. Im glad to see they're still bringing home the 1st place trophies every year. Once an Eagle always an Eagle. I'm wondering when they did away with M1s.
Mario ALvarez well they started using spring fields around the early 2000's and M1's are used for color guards now.
Mario ALvarez the 1903 Springfield’s are basic/ex rifles and m1’s are CG
Yes Mario Alvarez Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle.
They were actually disqualified that year for customized uniforms and air academy ranks. It was odd
I feel like M1 garand Drill rifles are a lot easier to use. They are centered more towards the center, making it easier to spin. The Springfield model they have are weighed with the main weights in the butt of the rifle, making it unbalanced.
My school is always afraid to go against them
oh yeah yeah
What brands are they
i would be too
Lil Ounce I wonder why
@@Nics_grappling615 Air force.
Now, this is what I call perfection, they literally did the cleanest group arm exhibition I have never seen before!. Wow it’s just satisfyingly flawless.
Their more recent routine from 2019 is leagues better
That was as close to perfection I have ever seen. Those you men were flawless.
Damn, his face, he looks like he had been through hell, regarding that he just had to do a Exhibition Drill phase, which would have made him very tired.
This what happens when a former drill master works at a high school.
This isn’t wrong lol my commander isn’t a former but he is a former master sgt and man he is so competitive our trophy wall is 20 feet long, 2 shelves high and we ran out of room
@@Revolve-sc5ko their commander turned out to be my teams new one
@@damianmitchell2554 yo what? Master sergeant Henry?
3:00 how is that even possible
Yeet the Wheat it’s honestly pretty easy to do it, its called a death march
Out of everything they did that's what has you confused?
Haahahaaha
I bet you any large sum of money they practice upwards of 3 times a week for 2+ hrs a session.
i think he meant how did he catch the death march single throw backwards
I'm not a Silver Eagle, but I've always wanted to meet their drill team - I'm a huge fan😂
They’re beast. Used to compete against them.
FOR REALLLL
They are even scarier and better looking in person I promise 🤣 They were my idols even tho I was unarmed ex
Copy cats
We aren’t scary! We are all very nice! Haha
omg they would have murdered us lmaooo
Itd b smoother if they didnt look like theyre in a rush. They kill it tho, u can tell theyre into it in and put in that work.
Armed exhibition teams change their cadence and pace several times in order for diversity and it gives even better scores. Its quite good looking, my schools taken states in Florida and we do similar things just not as complicated. This team is exceptional and does an amazing job for the AFJROTC
They're Ex team probably practices everyday for 4 hours
That's what it takes to be the best
My schools armed team is comming for u 👀😈
Lmao
what are you patriots guard?
Didn't even make it to Regionals lol

I'm like actually in love with the dude calling commands 😗 this whole exhibition is amazing! I wish my until did stuff like this
You can set up a team if you Don't have one. Talk to your instructors. I formed one, Naval JROTC, 2nd year, Cadet Chief Petty Officer.
@@edgy6562 ego, man
Thank you😊
I wanna know how they come up with the sequence
i bet they have a bunch of segments that they can put together to make different sequences
Believe it or not but the routine is decades old just modified every year. A lot of it is based off of the kings guard in Hawaii. When I was on the Team we actually had the drill master of the kings guard (Donovan White) fly from Hawaii to Texas to
coach us for a few days.

Imagine in the end they start shooting everyone
LMFAO
It would be systematic
Image how long it had for them to practice over and over and over again
not long . they all have experience and have done these moves before. though they do practice 6 days a week and repeat this routine over and over for hours in order to perfect their movements

If only our exhibition practiced more than once a week and had more than 6 people working on Tandems
As a commander of my drill team im making this happen the last time we went to florida was in 2015 and as a senior and class of 2022 im making it happen again this year
Meanwhile, my team.
“LEFT, FACE!”
*turns right*
6:39 the kid in the back, that is amazing
OUTSTANDING!!!! That's the most impressive, high cadence routine I've ever seen. This is a high school team!!! They make my college team look like kindergartners.
This school is lit

this video is so amazing
Israel Oslin Yeah, i wish i could do what these guys did.
IMHO slowing the entire thing to 60 bpm would make it infinitely better
This is my school im in afjrotc
1:54 is my favorite part
Silver eagles are legit the best
Reminded me of the Hawaii King’s Guard. Could do without the dads or the instructors yelling.
So Goog
We love you so much All the time
We love you so much 😍
5:26 oooo watch that tall dudes recover from being slightly outta step
I cant even catch it😂
Pop Piwin when they maritime march lol
more like 5:29
@@DeltaThreeOne oh yeh i saw the recovery, i saw that earlier but the guy said the tall dude and i was looken at the tallest
at lest he did not do a change step that is what every one i know does
The best performance from John Jay I've seen
The sheer look of dedication on that cadets face (platoon lead?) when he addresses his MSG at the end is great.
How amazing!!!! This was incredible to watch!!! All these wonderful young men were on point!!!
I'm from Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio Texas and they whoop us every time
TRILLY BILLS yea they have 4 hours practices and practice on weekends, our unit only does a practice every day for an hour not including weekends. These guys put a lot of time in and they do great.
If there was a way of dancing for males,this is definitely gonna be one of them.
Mastery, perfection, discipline, dedication, focus. Perfect video.
Rock Solid.... Better than Some College teams , & I think y'all could give the Marine Drill Team a good run for their money.Great job guys :}
ik there’s a poor springfield emerald guard driller watching this thinking “what’s our beef with john jay” and to answer… it all started in 2019 and that’s what you need to know
Very good and very nice and beautiful and super duper ....
I'm retired from the Army. I've never seen anything like this. When they flipped the rifles on their knees????
Bruh we were gonna go to nationals then corona cane buy and was like nah
Bleach what school ?

isn't there rotc program the navy?
Air Force
I just started ex at rhhs and it's so difficult😣
shelsey michel give it 3 years of dedicated hour practices every single days and you will easily be as good as these guys.
That was fucking outstanding
Man that was just beautiful these guys have passion for what they do
WHAT A SUPER FIRE TEAM. LETS GO
How heavy are their rifles, no way those are the 8lb ones
They are 8lbs Springfield 1903’s. When you practice as much as these guys it starts to feel like second nature to spin it with ease. (I don’t go to Jay but I am on a drill team in a Texas high school)
SirGimzALot there may be some members of the team that can spin at that speed but there is no way you can throw and catch an 8 pound rifle like he did at 6:39
SirGimzALot , as am I, in Texas our 1903's are 5 lbs without working bolts or straps
I realize how impossible it seems but in reality it is far from it. It takes an unbelievable amount of practice and a whole lot of upper body strength; with both those things it is very possible.
That's strange, ive never heard of that. Im not sure if its just a different supplier or what. are your competition rifles 5lbs as well?
How light are those rifles? 4 pounds?
8.5 is the competition minimum. They are replicas of the real thing so they weigh about the same.
The StreetElite oh crap, they make them look like they weight much less
Good times 😭 I was on the Eagles from 2011-2014. I remember when these kids first joined the team 😂 it’s good to look back and see how far they came!
This is just amazing, my squadron has just started a new drill team, this is how good I want it to be
A lot of practice, dedication and right coaching will get you there!
I will give you 99%
Flawless
That was very fun to watch. Incredible teamwork. But question: Is it normal for the spectators to be speaking loudly?
Awesome Sauce!!!!
The riffles are lighter
6:39 how
they're really good!
my teem has a hard enough time doing unarmed 58 step regulation drill. lol the sad thing is that i am in one of ten SFJROTC's in the country
Damn! Durmstrang in the Triwizard Tournament looks legit!
W O W
God damn son. A long time ago, early 90s, I was armed drill AFJROTC out of Philly, we were good. We won lots, but this...
God damn boys. Get you some.
I used to compete against these guys. We beat them 1 out of 3 years. Of course John jay, would be the first video in the whole world.
proud military wife(D) 👏 love 💘 you everyday ❤💙💖
Not to offend anyone here. But why does this Uniform remind me of the Uniform in StarShip Troopers?
Wow, excellent coordination and execution. The uniforms are terrible and some of the moves are like a cheerleading squad. Regardless was an outstanding team.
This shit made me give up so quick 😭😭 My unit could neverrrr😭😭😭
Tbh this is gold. But its a platoon not squad still good as fuck
I think its just called squad for catchiness
who is the commander?
That would be me, hello
Why do they have different uniform?
I believe it's a custom uniform they designed for their drill team (I don't know if it's exclusive to Armed or not) and to my knowledge isn't in exhibition regulation to wear an exact copy of the assigned JROTC units uniform.
Each school has their own uniform for their armed and unarmed drill teams. It’s pretty cool
That was the best armed ex drills I’ve ever seen!!!!
God I hate that their in my city because I swear to god winning there if they go is slim
my unit couldn’t even do this unarmed
At times it looks like someone sped up the recording.
Imagine just being frustrated teaching a half right, not this is next level
Thank you 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I knew it. as soon as I saw it. Air Force jrotc.
I was in the US Coast Guard Honor Guard at Alameda and I can state that these guys have their stuff wired tight. I have to watch them again!
Maaaannn! John jay still beasts lol they were our competition even back on 02-03 era of Holmes phantoms. Sadly, I don’t think Holmes has that motivation anymore.
I participated these kind of competitions for years and never saw anything like this. Greetings from Brazil.
To those who don’t this branch, it’s not a branch, it’s the secret service lmao
That was OUTSTANDING!
Looks a lot like Black Watch 9 man and 12 man ex
My squad always forgets what to do🤦♂️
This is the best, wish my drill team had as much dedication as these guys.
I wish my school had a armed team even half as good as these guys, but alas, the team is mostly NS1s
they’re all in sync…I LOVE ITTTTT❤
It’s always these guys and the Chaminade guard that stand out to me in San Antonio
I wish I could do that with my team this year we will do better
What type of rifles are you guys using, and what’s the weight? I am a Drill Team Commander aspiring to revamp my HS Exhibition team.
Springfield replica 1903 about 9pounds
