Naval Academy Dress Parade in Photos

With the temperature around 90 degrees, the U.S. Naval Academy's Brigade of Midshipmen marched onto Worden Field for the first dress parade of spring on Wednesday. 

"Parades are a visual presentation of the military discipline, professionalism and teamwork necessary to succeed as a member of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, and have been a part of Naval Academy training since its establishment in 1845," according to a press release from the Naval Academy.  

"The Brigade of Midshipmen marches from Bancroft Hall to the Naval Academy parade field, Worden Field, accompanied by the Naval Academy Band and the Drum & Bugle Corps of the Brigade of Midshipmen," according to the statement.  "On Worden Field the Brigade performs the manual of arms, renders honors to the senior officer or civilian dignitary present, and passes in review before the official party and guests."

If you missed this parade, there are two more scheduled and they are open to the public: April 19 and 26, both Fridays at 4 p.m.
