SUMMERALL GUARDS
From Knob Knowledge
The Summerall Guards is the senior drill team and now functions as the only precision drill team on campus. The Bond Volunteers are the juniors who are training for the team. The performance of The Summerall Guards consists of a silent close order drill that lasts twelve minutes. The Summerall Guards use a 1903 Springfield because it is weighted and perfectly balanced. Besides performing at Citadel functions, they also serve as Honor Guard at the Mardi Gras to King Rex in New Orleans. For a capsule history from a Spring 1968 Brigadier issue, consult "The Order Changeth." (HN)
