What action can lead to 1 demerit besides missing attire?

Failing to set props is an action that can lead to one demerit because it directly impacts the preparation and effectiveness of the drill team practice or performance. Setting props is often crucial for the choreography and overall execution of routines. If team members do not set up the props as expected, it can disrupt the entire practice, hinder the flow of the routine, and may require additional time to rectify the situation. This can be viewed as not cooperating with the team’s needs and responsibilities, warranting a demerit for the failure to fulfill these obligations.

On the other hand, arriving on time, helping with equipment, and participating actively are all positive contributions that enhance team dynamics and performance. These actions promote teamwork and uphold the standard of commitment expected from team members, thus they do not lead to demerits.
