FMS Drill Teams Excel in Richmond
Fishburne Military School Drill Teams Sharp at Huguenot Meet
Richmond, VA — The Fishburne Military School Drill Teams made the trek to the Huguenot High School Drill Meet in Richmond, VA and succeeded in adding to the growing number of trophies
amassed during the 2017-2018 school year.
Fourteen teams showed up to the Huguenot Drill Meet, but the Fishburne Military School Caissons were ready for the tough competition.
“Our young men have worked consistently throughout the year,” noted FMS Senior Army Instructor, LTC Robert Hunt, USA(Ret). “They’ve built upon their routines and really come together in practices to make sure that every performance is as precise as they can make it. Most people don’t really think about how much work and effort goes into this kind of competition. We’re all extremely proud of the work our young men have put in.”
The results of the meet follow:
1st Place – Armed Regulation Platoon – Commanded by Cadet Justin Payne (Waynesboro, VA)
1st Place – Armed Exhibition Squad – Commanded by Cadet William Malbon (Waban, MA)
2nd Place – Armed Exhibition Platoon – Commanded by Cadet Malbon
3rd Place – Color Guard – Commanded by Cadet Quinten DeLorenzo (Jefferson, ME)
3rd Place – Unarmed Regulation Platoon
3rd Place – Individual Armed Knockout – Cadet Justin Thermidor (Brooklyn, NY)
