3/26/13 - For the second year in a row, a group of local students will represent Michigan in a regional cadet competition next month. The Livingston Composite Squadron is a Civil Air Patrol team that consists of ten students from across the county. The team won the state championship this past weekend after competing against four other teams in various categories including Standard Drill, Written Exam, Innovative Drill, Quiz Bowl and a One Mile Run. They will now represent Michigan in the Great Lakes Regional Cadet Competition in Springfield, Illinois the first weekend in April. The team will be performing indoor and outdoor practical drills and will post the colors, conduct a flag ceremony and carry the flag in formation. The team will also compete in other areas that are not flag-related and involve leadership and aerospace. The Squadron is a member of the Civil Air Patrol, which is an auxiliary of the United States Air Force. (JK)
