Hi Matt! Quick question: I want to create a sequence for a 10-man armed ex team where the team enters from different parts of the Drill pad (like some people from the back, left, and right), but idk how to make it work after, like where to go from there, or the most efficient performance to do that with for reporting in. I want to try and steer away from a full 3x3 + commander formation as much as possible and break it up a little bit to add uniqueness, but idk what I should do in that regard either. Do you have any tips for me, or a sequence suggestion? Note that I am a yellow sling driller, and in fact the only exhibitionist in my Drill Team since we are just starting up exhibition, something that could look very clean, but is easy to do, would be perfect. Any advice would be great!
Hey! I really like the idea of coming in from all sides - just be sure to check that your competitions and performance venues will allow for it. As far as what comes next, I think that’s a matter of what your vision is but one of your best tools is contrast. Spreading out and coming in from all sides is the opposite of being compact so perhaps looking at a safe, closer order formation could provide that contrast. As far as the content for it, check out our latest video and get to thinking what effect you’d want it to have! It also applies to your formations - a traditional block formation communicates something specific but so does a non-traditional shape. Sounds like you have a great start and hopefully this gives you some food for thought!
