See the Marines Wednesday
The Marine Corps Battle Color Detachment will conduct a ceremony at 3 p.m. Wednesday aboard MCAS Miramar featuring the Marine Corps’ Silent Drill Platoon and the Drum and Bugle Corps.
This event is open to the public. Visitors can enter the air station through the North and East gates. The U.S. Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, known as “the Commandant’s Own, “combines contemporary songs and traditional marching music with uniquely choreographed drill movements in a program entitled ‘Music in Motion.’”
The Silent Drill Platoon performs an intricate drill routine without verbal commands. The performance is highlighted by the platoon rifle inspector’s unrivaled inspection of his Marines while performing difficult rifle spins and exchanges.
The Marine Corps Color Guard carries the official Battle Colors of the Marine Corps. The 54 streamers and silver bands displayed on the Battle Colors commemorate the military campaigns in which Marines have participated dating back to the American Revolution.
If you’re not busy on Wednesday afternoon, check ‘em out and give us a report!

That being said, I’m ready to hear about the next housing train wreck…
