The Evening Parade (Special Bicentennial Edition)

Established in 1801, Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C. is the "Oldest Post of the Corps." Since that time, grand military ceremonies have been held regularly within the site's famed quadrangle. One such ceremony is the heralded Evening Parade. Performed with an elaborate lighting and spotlight system, this parade first occurred on July 5th, 1957. Following the participation of a Marine Detachment in the celebrated Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Scotland in 1958, the event became a fixed Marine Corps tradition. This unique collector's edition performance features the Marine Band, the Marine Drum & Bugle Corps, and the Silent Drill Platoon. The unrivaled splendor and pageantry of this most regal affair will make you stand up and cheer these fabulous Marines on parade.
