Silent Drill Team
They were just here in Charleston last weekend for The Citadel football game halftime show. They continue to impress. At all costs, DO NOT miss an opportunity to watch their performance!
Here's a recent making the Internet rounds.
I daresay the best place to see them is at an Evening Parade with the Marine Corps band at their "homeplate", the
Marine Barracks at 8th & I near Washington Navy Yard. Nothing comes close to the setting and lighting and history with Commandant's house overlooking the drill field. If you want to impress friends or family or get motivated, this will do the trick and through wonders of the web, you can now make
reservations on-line. BTW - I drove by 8th & I recently and the whole area is in widespread urban renewal so it's no longer a bastion of Marines in a rundwon area.
Commandant's residence that was spared the torch by British troops in War of 1812 out of respect for showing of Marines in Battle of Bladensburg.
