NYC ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE

R-MA returned to the New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade this past March! Said Music Director Mr. Michael DeMato, “It’s an amazing feeling to be back at this parade after missing several due to COVID. We are looking forward to many more in the future.”

In addition to the band, led by C/2LT and Drum Major Sarina Winters ‘23, the Academy fielded a parade unit and flag corps carrying all 50 state flags led by Corps Commander C/LTC Henry Scott ‘23. The parade route covered approximately 30 city blocks. Participating cadets did the Academy proud.

Following the parade, the cadets soaked in the sights of the city, including various museums, restaurants, Times Square, and other big-city attractions, including the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum.
