GENERAL INFORMATION on the NATIONALS
The NHSDTC remains the largest and most well-recognized collection of drill & ceremony talent ever assembled in a single weekend. The four primary branches of the military will be sending their finest schools to compete in this unparalleled weekend of military excellence. Over 100,000 cadets, instructors and parents have attended the NHSDTC competition over the years and you and your program should add yoursleves to this illustrious list as a competitor or as a spectator.

The 2007 NHSDTC competition was in a word...amazing! Scores and scores of amazing performances were seen by thousands at all levels of competition. If fact, several judges commented that there were more than a few schools competing at the Challenge Level that would have easily been able to step into the Masters Level competition! That is a testiment to the effort, sacrifice, and intense preparation that teams maintained this year in all levels. The best of videos will easily be the most exciting that have been put forth in many years!

We hope that all JROTC schools have enjoyed the IDR magazine which mailed in early October to all JROTC units across the globe! Results and general information regarding the Navy Nationals Academic, Athletic and Drill championships, as well as the U.S. Army Cadet Command Eastern & Western Championships, and the high-powered, Air Force JROTC only Air Force National Invitational Drill Classic make this publication an informative magazine. All of these great JROTC competitions make our work here at Sports Network International very hectic and also very rewarding! We often receive email messages from cadets who competed here at the Nationals that are now living and working within the private sector or serving their country as officers and enlisted personnel within the many branches of the Armed Forces.

Here's wishing all schools, teams and cadets the best as you prepare for the coming challenges. Remember to always do your best!
