Program areas at South Shore Drill Team and Performing Arts Ensemble
Parade performances - it takes about a year for a child to learn how to march and two to three years to be part of the "big guard" rehearsals include discussions on life skills and helping members develop a sense of self-discipline, dedication, teamwork, and respect for each other. The chance to perform before an appreciative crowd raises their self-esteem and motivates them to continue working hard in school and at rehearsals. Being part of the Team allows young people to travel beyond their neighborhood and meet others from different backgrounds. Winter guard international competition requires specific movements and different equipment, demanding a higher level of commitment and skill. Recreational activities keep youth engaged in the program.
High school and college age members instruct the younger children under adult supervision. The Team's assistant instructors learn job-readiness skills. How to work with younger children, complete paperwork, and be responsible. The stipends paid, while small, are often critical to helping first generation college students pay for books and tuition.
At risk youth approximately 85% of members come from inner-city neighborhoods where they are likely to encounter gangs and drugs on a daily basis. This program is geared towards reducing negative influences and teaching youth who have gotten into trouble at school or in the neighborhood to take responsibility for their actions. The tea assists students with tutoring and offers a computer lab for homework. Team, staff and members monitor grades and attendance and offer information about college and financial aid. Since all members must be students in good standing, those who are at risk for dropping out receive help to keep them in school. The Team has a 99.5% graduation rate of its members and most attend college.
