The Seattle Chinese Community Girls Drill Team is a drill team for Chinese American girls, based in Seattle, Washington. It was established by Ruby Chow and the Chi-ettes in 1952. The team is noted for combining Cantonese opera and American militaristic marching drill influences. It has participated in the Chinatown Seafair Parade and the Seafair Torchlight Parade yearly since its founding. In 2023, the team had approximately 30 high school members, and was featured in the documentary She Marches in Chinatown.
