Color Guard
The Color Guard is responsible for the care and appearance of the US, Army and RIT flags at events and ceremonies. Composed of the most meticulous and thorough Cadets, the Color Guard ensure that the flags are present and posted properly at all Tiger Battalion events and ceremonies. Additionally, they practice drill and ceremony and perform various military maneuvers for unit functions, such as the Saber Arch ceremony during the Dining Out. 
Drill Team
Our cadets practice drill & ceremonies diligently, and the drill team is designed to help cadets learn and develop these technical marching skills. A drill team is a marching unit that performs military style maneuvers in parades, at air shows, football half-time shows, and other public venues. High school and college drill teams also often compete with one another in drill meets.
