Every month or so, I'll do a search for "drill team" and scroll page after page of links looking for new ones that are about drill teams, not drill masons or rifle teams. However, I seldom turn up much. There don't seem to be many team websites, or if there are, there is not much information on them. And where there's no website, there's no article or hyperlink on this site. If you can send links to sites or make your own team sites, be sure to send me an e-mail.
