Will Drill and Ceremony ever be important to the military again?

It used to be one of the streamers a platoon could get during basic training but I do not think they put much emphasis on DnC as they used to during training now days.

As stated before as we transition back into Garrison Army drill and ceremony will come back just like true Sergeants Time Training. During the past thirteen years of war we have steered away from both of these to focus on preparation for deployments. Drill and Ceremony was on practiced during NCOES and right before a Ceremony to leave and Sergeants Time Training was manily a check in the box since a lot of training was conducted during FTX's or rotations Training Centers.

I know I'm only a Spc but I love dnc it shows discipline. I know were at war but we still need to polish things like this it's sm that out rank me who don't know what a left flank is. I'm all for dnc but that's just me and don't get me started on cadence calling.

I believe it will as we transition.  I'm going to have to uppercut your question by stating it's always been important, although it is a lost art.  However, it has been given little priority on average by Leaders.

I have a feeling that it will make a slight comeback now that the Army is transitioning from a warfighting force to a garrison force. I don't think it's as much of a lost art as many would seem to think it is. There are plenty of senior soldiers that have been around since before 2001, and I'm sure they are fully capable of training and mentoring those who need instruction.
