 The ATC uses foot drill for many reasons. Air Cadets can be seen marching around RAF Stations on most weekends. On average, cadets on 2499 spend 20 minutes per parade night learning, practising and improving their foot drill.
Continuity drill is also taught to further enhance the standards of foot drill and teamwork in the Squadron. Continuity drill requires cadets to remember a set sequence of movements and carry them out without orders.
Overall it must be remembered that drill of all types is intended to improve your teamwork, not grind you down. Carrying out a sequence of movements well as a squad does give a feeling of satisfaction. As does completing a parade and knowing that you and your flight have done well, looked smart and met the standard.
The drill used for parades and reviews is more correctly referred to as Ceremonial Drill.

We like to record our drill displays, both to help us remember what we did and also to make sure we see what we did wrong!

Ceremonial Parades, such as this one from 2008, also make good subjects for videos. We also use video as a training aid; here is the Corps Banner Drill Competition.
