Drill Teams Take Top Honors at Greenbrier West Meet

The Fishburne Military School JROTC Drill Teams put on a stellar performance on Thursday at the Greenbrier West Drill Competition in Lewisburg, WV.

The Caissons took 1st place overall in the competition; earning 1st-place trophies for individual performance, Color Gaurd, and Squad while securing 2nd place for Platoon.

18 cadets and their JROTC instructors made the two-hour trek from Waynesboro to Lewisburg and turned in one of their best performances of the year.

The FMS Drill Teams are hoping to earn a 2nd-consecutive invitation to the 4th Brigade’s “Best of the Best” competition. Last year, Fishburne was one of only three schools (out of 318) in 4th Brigade to have their Drill Teams AND Raiders teams qualify for Best of the Best.

Fishburne Military School is the oldest and smallest of all military schools for boys in Virginia. Its college-prep curriculum is built upon the structure of an Army JROTC program. Boasting a 100% college-acceptance rate for the past 10 consecutive years, FMS has also been designated as a JROTC Honor Unit with Distinction and may nominate qualified candidates to the United States Service Academics. Fishburne hosts one of only four Summer JROTC programs in the nation, accredited by US Army Cadet Command.
