Only the dedicated, experienced, and hardworking are able to be team commander for their group. The team commanders are the leaders of the parade will be at the front of the match leading all the other AFJROTC members.

“I’m proud to be matching in this year’s parade because I am not only team leader, but one of few groups that will be marching with their rifles,” sophomore Rene Ayala said.

As everyone will be looking at the flight leaders at the parade they be watching the different things from the form of matching to the different things the students will be marching to and with.
