[Families] actually having the opportunity to have their kids on the field with us is the most important aspect,” Ben Lundt said.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_6823-1200x800.jpg)

Annual Air Force Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps trip to Florida for competition cancelled due to lack of participation
December 10, 2014
The annual Air Force Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (AFROTC) competition in Daytona Beach, Florida has been cancelled.
“The trip was cancelled because of lack of participation from other schools,” said Sargent Dave Cugier.
Members of AFROTC were set to leave on Dec. 3 and arrive back in St. Louis on Dec. 8. The competition was scheduled to take place at Lake Worth High School.
“At the competition we compete against other high schools with drill and ceremony routines,” said Cugier.
Lots of training and preparing for the competition has been taking place for the past months.
“The biggest word I can use to describe how the kids feel is disappointment. They all worked really hard. They’ve been working on their routines from late August until just a few weeks ago. It’s a major disappointment that it’s been cancelled,” said Cugier.
