Parents, Cadets, Officers, Family and Friends of the Colorado Wing Drill Team.....
Before I go into the results of the Competition we want you to know how PROUD we are of YOUR Drill Team.
They performed exceptionally well this weekend and put 100%+ into every event - something the end results don't reflect.
The UTAH Wing Drill Team won the competition with successes in all the events - but several events were really close calls.
Our strong events really put UTAH to the test, with Inspection and Innovative Drill both being VERY CLOSE calls.
UTAH showed their superiority in the knowledge events with a clean sweep in the Jeopardy! panel quiz and a good performance in the written exam.
Our very own CAPT KENT took the HIGHEST SCORE in the written exam for the 2nd year running.
Overall we were beaten by a superior team with very experienced drill team members - most of whom competed in the 2008 National Competition.....
but...as we said to our team last night at our now customary post event ice-cream stop (Dairy Queen!) - there are FIVE Wings in the Rocky Mountain Region. Thompson Valley Eagles should be proud of the fact they they can field a competitive Drill Team from their SQUADRON when other Wings in the Region cannot.
In summary, be proud of you team's achievements - that put up a good fight and THEY are proud of their achievements - they knew they came to the competition with nothing to lose and still performed well. Their commitment to this was rewarded with them being presented with the TEAM SPIRIT AWARD.

You guys have no reason to hang your heads. If you gave 100% then you did your jobs well. You reflect great credit on youselves, your leaders, and TVCS. Well done Eagles!!!
ReplyDeleteThompson Valley is proud of every one of you boys and you should be too. Way to give 'em hell!
ReplyDeleteOur Eagles have worked their collective behinds off to successfully win the Colorado Wing competition and be quite competitive with Utah. It's always tough going up against a more experienced team. I am very proud of the effort and dedication put in by our team. Even more, I know our team's integrity and attitude sets an example for everyone who comes in contact with them both in competition and everyday. You are all terrific!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I want to give a HUGE thanks to the senior members who gave blood, sweat, and tears to get our cadets to this competition.
You're the best!
