Competition Teams
Silas has been the Overall Narrows View Division Champion for three consecutive years and is designated as a Naval Honor School.
Cadets have the opportunity to compete for teams including Color Guard, Armed Drill, Unarmed Drill, Rifle, Strength, Academic, CyberPatriot, and more! Many cadets have said that they have gotten the best experience and reached their fullest leadership potential by joining a team. Not only do you develop a variety of skills, but you get to do it with your family and at no cost!
Those on the Armed and Unarmed are apart of the zero hour class. Being apart of the drill teams gives you the choice between a PE, elective, CTE, or fine arts credit for every semester you are enrolled in the class.
If you are interested in joining any of the following teams or have any questions, please contact the commanders/captains or email wilsonhsmcjrotc@gmail.com!

Color Guard
The Color Guard competition consists of Inspection and Regulation. It requires intense bearing, precision, alignment, and smoothness. A Color Guard consists of four members: Left Shoulder, Battle Standard, Nationals, and Right Shoulder. Last year, Color Guard (A) earned the title of Overall Division Champions and Color Guard (B) earned Second Overall in the division. There are two competition teams for Color Guard, but other positions are available for volunteer events such as Marine Corps Balls, at Cheney Stadium, schools, veteran events, and more.
Armed Drill Team
The Armed Drill competition consists of Inspection, Regulation, and Exhibition. It requires intense focus, precision, memory, and creativity. Last year, the Armed Drill Team earned the title of Overall Division Champions, with Commander C/Capt Ethan Lund placing as the Overall Division Armed Commander.
The academic competition is a 50 question test consisting of random topics that can include history, military history and regulations, math, English, and more. They are randomized and there is never a particular subject or theme. In addition to placing as a team, cadets can also place individually. Last year, Silas placed 3rd Overall in the division with C/Capt "Peabody" M-B (Ret.) consistently placing in the Top 5 at each competition.
Cyber Patriot
The National Youth Cyber Defense Competition puts teams of high school and middle school students in the position of newly hired IT professionals tasked with managing the network of a small company. Through a series of online competition rounds, teams are given a set of virtual operating systems and are tasked with finding and fixing cybersecurity vulnerabilities while maintaining critical services. The top teams in the nation earn all-expenses-paid trips to Maryland for the National Finals Competition where they can earn national recognition and scholarship money. If you are interested in joining, please contact C/Maj M-B.
DAED / DUED / IAED

Additionally, Solo Exhibition is available for individuals and is known as IAED. These routines require extreme poise, showmanship, unique composition, and excellent appearance. Last year, DAED Team A (C/Maj Kyle Williams (Ret.) and C/Capt "Peabody" M-B (Ret.)) and DUED Team A (C/Capt Cheyanne Clinton (Ret.) and C/Capt Kelsey "M-B") took the title of Overall Division Champions, with DUED Team B (C/1stSgt Isabel Johnston-Kelly and C/2LT Sailor Snell) placing 2nd Overall.
