From VMI Communications and Marketing: The most recent information from parade organizers is that the Corps will be released to start the parade at 5:35 p.m. It is expected the Corps will pass the reviewing stand at 5:57 p.m. It should be noted that all times are best estimates at this time. The speed with which earlier units in the parade proceed will affect the actual time the Corps begins the 22-minute march to the reviewing stand.
Please note that most networks will break away at 1700 for local news, etc., but CNN will be covering the parade in its entirety.
See the VMI News Page for updates and changes.
Update: In case you didn’t get to see the last of the parade (where VMI was), there is a YouTube video of the coverage here. If you watched the parade, seeing all 1400 cadets at once was quite impressive comparing them to the 20-200 members of all the preceding units. Some good comments and kudos on the YouTube site.
