For the Drill Team award (one per year), what is the minimum participation requirement?

• A. Distinguished participation in at least 75 percent of all drill team events per academic year, or 10 drill team events in an academic year, whichever is lower.
• B. Attendance at all drills.
• C. Awarded for making a drill team.
• D. Score above 95 in timing events.

Answer: (A)

The requirement hinges on participation level across the year. The award is earned by showing distinguished participation in at least 75 percent of all drill team events, or at least 10 drill team events in the academic year, whichever value is lower. This means you meet the threshold if you participate in the smaller of those two numbers, so the rule scales with how many events exist. If there are many events, you might only need 10; if there are few events, you must meet 75% of them. Other options focus on attending every drill, simply making the team, or scoring high in timing—none of these define the participation threshold for the award.
