UPDATE:
At the request of its advisory board, the members of the National Council of
Drill/Dance Team Camps have unanimously decided to maintain their current
award structure at all Regional and State competitions but to eliminate the
Sweepstakes, Gussie Nell Davis Awards, Award of Excellence for Officers, and Superior Ratings, at all
National Championships. Instead, the number of national rankings will be increased. In order to qualify for the top
National Awards, (i.e., jackets, banners, etc.) teams and officer lines must
still enter a minimum of 3 routine categories. Implementing these changes
will elevate the prestige of our National Championships and decrease the
time allotted for the award ceremonies.
The National Council of Drill/Dance Team Camps includes:
American Drill/Dance Team
Just for Kix
M.A. Dance
Showmakers of America
Showtime International
All teams will receive a special Nationals plaque in their results sack as a momento of this great event.
