RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE
REDDING RODEO ASSOCIATION DRILL TEAM
WHEREAS:
A. The Redding Rodeo Association Drill Team consists of sixteen riders. The team performs at
rodeos and demonstrates high speed precision maneuvers on horseback. This team has been electrifying
rodeo fans since it was first formed in 1942; and,
B. The Redding Rodeo Association Drill Team, together with many non-drill team members of
the Redding Rodeo Association, performs a variety of services to the community, such as: Special Kids
Day during Rodeo Week, when 300 specially challenged children become cowboys and cowgirls for a day;
emergency relief to livestock for residents caught in the Jones Fire last October; and their availability at any
time to assist the City of Redding in any emergency that might arise; and,
C. In addition to performing for rodeo fans and promoting horsemanship, the Redding Rodeo
Association Drill Team also enters competitions as a drill team and as a color guard. This team won first
place in the Western States Drill Team Competition in Reno, Nevada, last June 1999, and has for the last
two years won first place in the Color Guard competition at the Grand Nationals Rodeo at the Cow Palace in
San Francisco, California; and

internationally as one of twenty drill teams to compete in the EquiDance 2000 Drill Team Competition at
