ISDTA Mission Statement

The mission statement of the Iowa State Dance/Drill Team Association is to promote dance/drill team, demonstrate sportsmanship and support student involvement.  The expectation of Association directors and team members will be to conduct themselves in a positive manner with respect to self and others in the true spirit of teamwork.

The Iowa State Dance/Drill Team Association Inc. is an organization which brings together all of our individual drill teams and unites us into a single group, recognized both legally and for insurance purposes.  The function of I.S.D.T.A. is similar to that of the athletic, speech, and music organizations of Iowa:  TO ENCOURAGE, PROMOTE, AND PROVIDE ACTIVITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR IOWA DRILL TEAMS.  By organizing into a state-wide Association, we combine our individual teams into a recognized non-profit organization.  Because all of our state activities come under the Association, membership in the I.S.D.T.A. will be required in order to compete in the Individual and Team competitions.  In addition, participation in other I.S.D.T.A. sponsored events will be limited to Association members (i.e. All-Iowa Honor Drill Team.)
