Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

It is with much anticipation that I greet each of you. God has blessed me with the

awesome and priceless privilege to serve our greatest constituents, our youth. I would

like to thank each of your for attending last year’s session in New Orleans, Louisiana. It

is my desire that you found the session inspiring and uplifting where souls were added to

the Kingdom.

The YAC team and I have worked tirelessly to ensure that we have an extensive and

exciting Youth and Children's Convention. This team has left no stone unturned and you

are sure to see the evidence in Louisville, KY. I invite you to encourage at least ten young

people to attend the convention this year, as well as, invite churches that you haven't seen

in a while, and watch God lend to us exceptional acts during that week. We appeal to all

members to take your family vacation with the YAC Convention 2020.

We shall have more information forthcoming, until then keep the faith! Again, you're

invited to seize an opportunity to electrify your spiritual antenna to receive your blessing

from God, with us this year.

Shalom,

Dr. Terrance D. Grant-Malone

Youth and Children’s Convention Director

Dear Drill Team Directors:

Greetings in the matchless name of Jesus Christ!

This year we “pick up the step” in Louisville, Kentucky. The YAC officers and staff of NBCA are

working and preparing for your arrival in June. We look forward to the fellowship and the continued

spiritual enrichment of your youth and children. Please note the following for this year’s Drill Team

Competition:

CATEGORIES

Beginner (Category I) – teams that have 2 years or less of drill team ability/experience

Intermediate (Category II) – teams that have 3 to 5 years of drill team ability/experience

Expert (Category III) – teams that have 6 years or more of drill team ability/experience

Note: Please register your team according to their ability/experience, not their organization date.

REQUIRED MATERIAL - Each drill team is required to have all of the following in their routine:

Evangelism (Scriptures that pertain to the Plan of Salvation)

The 66 Books of the Holy Bible

Baptist Ordinances (Scriptures pertain to Baptism and the Lord’s Supper)

The Lord’s Prayer

A Praise Song (your choice)

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (KJV)

The YAC Theme and its supporting Scriptures in their entirety. (“Unapologetically Certain.” –

Matthew 6:33 II Timothy 3:1-14)

TIME

Each drill team will have 7 minutes to complete their routine.

JUDGING

Bible Knowledge – This judge examines the routine to see if the required material above is part of the

routine.

Maneuvers – This judge is concerned with the synchronization of team members (moving together) and

the execution of given commands (accuracy and precision).

Appearance/Attitude – This judge is concerned with both the bodily and facial appearance of team

members. (Is there uniformity among team members? Are team members neat and clean? What about

facial expressions? Do team members look like they wish they were doing something else? How do they

react if/when they make a mistake? Are team members “half-stepping”?)

Page 8: National Baptist Convention of America International, Inc. Rev. …€¦ · Also, participants will be able to have their resume’s critiqued and/or apply for internships, externships,

Creativity – This judge looks for the creativity in drill team routines. For example: “Drill Team A”

simply stands there while quoting the books of the Bible. On the other hand, “Drill Team B” has a variety

of movements while quoting the books of the Bible. Both teams have met that part of the Bible

Knowledge requirement, but the team that demonstrated creativity will receive more points in this

category.

Time – This judge keeps time for the team’s performance. If/when a team reaches the 5 minute mark,

the time judge will stand indicating that the team has 2 minutes remaining. At the 6 minute mark, the

time judge will sit indicating that the team has 1 minute remaining. If a drill team goes over the allotted

time, 5 points will be deducted. For each minute over 7 minutes an additional 2 points shall be deducted.

******************************************************************************

Pearline Perkins Marching Award – All judges participate in the judging of this award. Judging takes

place throughout the week and only during the processionals of the various services. Attendance,

appearance, alignment and creativity are the major factors the judges consider. In addition, they observe

your breakdown (“pick up the step”). This award is separate from drill team competition.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I am here to serve!

Yours in Christ,

E-Information Sign-up

Form

A new concept is revolutionizing the way people communicate in the digital age. In a continuous effort to

streamline processing and improve efficiency, we will be sending periodic News Blasts and updates via e-

mail and Facebook. We are asking each church to designate an e-mail address where you wish to have all

future Youth and Children’s Convention Pre-registration packets and updates to be routed.

We feel that this will allow us to stay better connected with our youth groups and leaders and keep them

abreast of important updates throughout the year.

Please complete this form and return it to the Youth and Children’s Convention office with your Pre-

registration.
