Awkward Drill Team
August 3rd, 2009
According to Ingrid, “our music was something by the Doobie Brothers and the soundtrack of Labyrinth. I kid you not, we were instructed to emulate amoeba at the beginning of our routine. Which included hula hoops.”

Hahaha. This is hilarious! I am from Jacksonville, IL and I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this! I’m forwarding to my older sister now to see if she knows them!
there is only one boy in the photo. he is second from the left, bottom row. the rest are the scruffy looking girls of the sycamore flag corps.
i am actually in this photo. i must say it took years of therapy to get over.
the flag corps coach/band director rode a motorcycle to school.
it was ‘china grove.’ and labyrinth.
it was awesome.
which one are you??
My sister was in a flag corps. I would have to have seen their act. I’m especially amused by the fact they used the Labyrinth soundtrack!
No fair, they get to have boys on their drill team! Our band director won’t let boys on our drill team.
Let me guess – a Catholic School… (that’s how out of whack mine was in the late 70′s – 80′s!)
jazz hands! cha cha chaaa
One of the guys on here is our colorguard director at our highschool?!!? :O ahaha.
I love 80′s guards, going into my senior a group from our guard would get together and watch old guard videos we got from our directors.
Then the auditions for Kiss took a turn for the worse
who gave the emos guns?
THE guy?!?!?! I see more than one there!!
Am I the only one who thinks this is BEYOND AWESOME?
no, you’re not the only one – i TOTALLY agree!!!!
Do you think their inspiration was Boy George or Kiss…. hmmm what a thinker!
OMG is that Sycamore circa 1988?
Yes!!!!!
Spirit fingers!
Future backup drones at a Marilyn Manson show……….
A drill team run by Gene Simmons of Kiss. Brilliant!
Fred, my first thought was “these are the bridesmaids at a KISS shotgun wedding.”
That is my hometown. Ugh!
Can you see the guy among all the girls?
looks like maybe even 3 guys!??!
… and the eye makeup was only half the bast part about the pic … the jazz hands were the other!
Lots of jazz hands…lots.
Which one is Michaell Jackson?
I love how the gloves are two sided – one black and one white. And they are Illinois Champions!
“Oh Warriors, come out and plaaay!”
What would be cooler is if they are all on fire and Yielding Compound Bows.
Ladies and Gentlemen. The Rocky Horror Picture Show Drill Team!
spot lady gaga!
