![]() By America Ramirez Hubbard High School’s J.R.O.T.C program is one of the best J.R.O.T.C programs in Chicago. It is more than just a class, being part of the program opens doors to several teams such as H-squad, Black Sheep, Scarlett Griffns, Drum & Bugle Corps and Archery. The varsity drill team beat many schools and came out in 1st place at the Varsity City Drill Championship. Now it's time to move their focus on the drill teams (H-squad, Black Sheep and Scarlett Gri ns) as they prepare for the upcoming competitions, such as the Purdue University Drill meet. Their day starts around 5am, they begin practice at 6, and start school at 8. For most, this is a daily routine for four years. On winter break or off days, while the majority of us are enjoying our time off , these team members come in and show their dedication by practicing. Their biggest competition comes in May at Daytona Beach, Florida; this is a one week trip where they compete against schools across the country. Hubbard is the only R.O.T.C program in Chicago that is selected to be part of Nationals, around 1,000 schools apply, but only the top 75 are selected. This shows us that their time and effort pays off in a big way.
