ANNAPOLIS, Md. (Apr. 21, 2023) The United States Naval Academy Silent Drill Team, "The Jolly Rogers," performs in the second formal parade of the season. The mission of the Jolly Rogers is to represent the Brigade of Midshipmen in official ceremonies and events by demonstrating excellence and discipline through precise and calculated exhibition drill performances. Parades are a visual presentation of the military discipline, professionalism and teamwork necessary to succeed as a member of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, and have been a part of Naval Academy training since its establishment in 1845.
