Origin

Originating from military squad drill in Australia and New Zealand during the post-war 1950s, today's  precision drill teams have grown  beyond their origins in marching. Today's  precision drill, exhibition march, march past, prop precision, and freestyle drilldance have evolved into spectacular routines that rival the best stage shows. This in addition to the traditional marching style culminates in to stunning  examples of precision, uniformity, timing and formations. Each year teams from all over  Australia come together for the Australian Championship which is held in a different state each year, this is truly and event to be seen.

The Victorian  Marching Association is the state  body that oversees  the marching/drilldance in Victoria. On this webpage of the Victorian Marching Association, you will find information about  clubs, teams  and state contact details. We invite you take a tour of our gallery and see what our sport now a national sport can offer.

Marching is for all people, male and female, of all ages. You can  march, coach, chaperone, judge or simply be  involved socially.
