Exhibition Drill Teams don't often use a standard manual of arms.

There's a lot of slapping and slamming, since making lots of noise is part of the act. Some drill teams incorporate a fair amount of grunts and groans as well.

Compared to a military marching unit (active duty) a drill team is about like the difference between Olympic wrestling and the professional kind.
