Horn detail
The Horn Detail is a group of cadets who, at every home Eastwood football game, do push-ups in the end zone. However many points the football team scores, the Horn Detail will do the same amount of push-ups. The Horn Detail blows a train horn at every touchdown, signaling the rest of the team when to do push-ups.
