Honor, pride, tradition - they're all
preserved at the Corps' oldest post. Established in 1801, Marine Barracks, 8th &
I, Washington, DC, is the "heart and soul" of the Marine Corps. It's home to the
United States Marine Band, the Marine Drum & Bugle Corps, the Marine Crops Color Guard
and the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon. Two of the most famous military ceremonies, The
Sunset Parade and The Evening Parade, are hosted by the Marines assigned here. This video
takes you behind the scenes with the Marines of "8th & I" - from boot camp
to the hallowed parade grounds. It's an up-close look at the selection process, the
training, and the performances of these famed ceremonial units. From the grueling practice
sessions of the Silent Drill Platoon to the intricate choreography of the Drum & Bugle
Corps, you'll be inspired by the ceremonial grandeur and military efficiency displayed by
every Marine privileged to be assigned to the "Oldest Post of the Corps."
