IMPORTANT NOTE FOR TEAMS COMPETING AT ANY SPORTS NETWORK INTERNATIONAL EVENT (i.e. Army Nationals, The National High School Drill Team Championships, etc.):
AS OF SY23-24, we are NO LONGER RECOMMENDING specifically the aluminum flag poles with round spear toppers for national competition. Though the SOP currently authorizes these items, our best current intelligence suggests that standard wooden guidon poles with the Army spade finial are more competitively viable!
