Saturday's Events at RCC!

As Saturday draws to a close we can reflect on a great Rocky Mountain Regional Cadet Competition

It was a HUGE day for the team.....

Breakfast at 7pm was followed by another van trip to Malmstrom AFB

8.30AM Written Test, followed by Jeopardy! - per the Major's earlier post

With time to spare before lunch the team went off to do a final INNOVATIVE drill practice on the base car park - it LOOKED SPECTACULAR

We then had a really great lunch on the base - Air Force base food is MUCH better than other locations we've been too in the past - everyone chowed down to some hearty grub!

After lunch it was back to the hotel to change into blues for the Inspection, Standard Drill and Innovative Drill

INSPECTION:
Back to the base and the team marched onto the drill pad in front of spectators and the Malmstrom AFB Honor Guard
They were extremely smart, professional and showed exceptional military bearing - we were very proud of your young men

STANDARD DRILL
Both teams did an excellent job in their Standard Drill and received accolades from civilian and military spectators. This one will be a tough one to call on the judging

INNOVATIVE DRILL
The EAGLES soared during their Innovative Drill routine and everything fell into place for a spectacular performance. Utah's routine was equally spectacular with some great sequences - again, it'll be upto the judges

It's now 5.20pm and all the events are completed - the team has returned to the hotel in high spirits to relax before the banquet

THE BANQUET
Tonight at 6pm all the teams will meet at Malmstrom AFB for a formal CAP Banquet - an affair steeped in tradition, ceremony and FUN. Everyone is looking forward to relaxing after a HUGE weekend of competition.

The event results will be announced and I hope to update you with them as soon as they are available

PHOTOS
I will also update the slideshow with some GREAT photos - hopefully tonight
