What is the difference between the parade and the March-in?
A parade is typically a full review in dress uniforms on the parade ground they are on most Friday afternoons and on Saurday mornings before football games. Just prior to the start of home football games, the Corps marches down from the baracks into the stadium where they form up, then fall out into the stands after the National Anthem. (Over 4 years you get a lot of practise marching )What is the difference between the parade and the March-in?
Thanks to all. Had a great time yesterday, and with the help of I-81, was able to get there in time for both. We paid a surprise visit to our son's best friend, now a third, at VMI, and didn't tell his parents either (who we knew would be there tailgating as well). Other than the score at the end of the game it was a wonderful visit. As my wife said "Since she can't go down to see our cadet as often as we'd like we decided to see her 'other' son/keydet."A parade is typically a full review in dress uniforms on the parade ground they are on most Friday afternoons and on Saurday mornings before football games.
