| Marine Band |
This past Friday I went to go see the Marine Corps Evening Parade at the Marine Barracks in DC. It was my second time there, but it has been about 4 or 5 years since I last went. I almost thought about not going since I hate going into DC with Friday evening traffic, but since a friend from Juneau was in DC that day, I thought it would be something nice for her to see and a good opportunity for us to catch up. It did end up taking an hour and a half to get there with traffic, but it ended up being totally worth it. Not only was it nice seeing my friend again, the Evening Parade was much better than I remembered! Lots of things reminded me of my time at the Coast Guard Academy - the marching songs played by the Marine Band, the drill (left shoulder arms, port arms, order arms, etc.), colors, TAPS, the march, etc. The Silent Drill Platoon was of course popular and cool to see. I think I'll have to make this an annual thing....
