Regimental Parade - August

-


A close-up shot of the USMMA color guard marching in formation during a Regimental Parade. Four midshipmen wearing crisp Summer White uniforms are marching across a green turf field. The two outer midshipmen are carrying ceremonial rifles resting on their shoulders, while the two midshipmen in the center are carrying large, gold-fringed flags supported by white harnesses.

The Regimental Parade is a time-honored tradition at the United States Merchant Marine Academy that showcases the discipline, pride, and military precision of the Regiment of Midshipmen. Held on Tomb Field during momentous occasions such as Homecoming, Parents Weekend, and Commencement, the parade features the entire student body marching in impeccable formation accompanied by the Regimental Band. The event serves as a powerful public demonstration of the midshipmen’s dedication to their training, their academy, and their nation. As the companies pass in review, the ceremony instills a deep sense of camaraderie and maritime heritage, offering alumni, families, and the local community a spectacular display of Kings Point's enduring spirit and leadership.
