FIGURE 3-5
RIGHT TURN - ALTERNATE
Drum Major:
Signal a RIGHT TURN. The signal for the alternate right turn is the same as that for the primary
right turn. PIVOT to the right on the step after the signal of execution. MARCH FORWARD
until you are the appropriate number of steps past the first person in the right file. The appropriate
number of steps equals the number of files minus one. For example, for a five-person front, continue
four steps past the first person in the right file; for a four-person front, continue three steps past the
first person in the right file. MARK TIME until the front rank is on line in the new direction of
march. STEP OFF with a full step.
