About the Tiger Tots Program
Drill: Students will be split into teams to form a platoon. Each platoon will learn drill movements for the competition that each team will compete in. The student who catches on and shows the most understanding will be selected as the platoon's commander. The commander will learn the commands and lead the platoon in the competition.
Drill Competition: Each platoon commander will be given a command card to learn and follow. These command cards will be graded as the commands are called; they will be graded by high school and UCM cadets. The grade depends on accuracy, synchronicity of the platoon, and the commander's voice/inflection. Each student from the winning platoon will receive a medal.
