The drill teams parade down the city streets to without any drums or other
musical accompaniment. A whistle is blown to signal the beginning of a formation.

Sometimes the drill team chants as they march. At around 3:17 in this film clip, I recognize is one drill team member serving as the caller chanting "Pump it up/Pump it up/Pump it up and move it". The rest of the group then says those same words.
