The Oldest Post of the Corps...

Friday evening, we'll be transported by bus to the Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C. - better known as "8th and I" - to witness the Summer Evening Parade program, one of the most beloved traditions of our Corps.

This will be a night of high drama and ceremony as the "President's Own" Marine Band and the "Commandant's Own" Drum and Bugle Corps entertain with martial music. The highlight of the evening is a stunning performance by young Infantry Marines who serve in the Silent Precision Drill Platoon. If you've never been, you don't want to miss this!

We have 75 reserved seats, so you'll want to bring your loved ones with you to witness this remarkable event. We've been invited to an exclusive meet-and-greet in the SNCO Club at the Barracks after the parade. You may have an opportunity to meet Chesty, the Marine Corps' official mascot!
