Reviewing officer Mr. John Schaller '71 accompanied by Cadet Colonel Leland Pornschloegl '18 and Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Giselle Centeno '18. The Raider Brigade capped off their centennial with the annual Twilight Parade on May 16, 2018. The entire Corps gathered on Wingerd Field along with many members of the CDH community to celebrate another successful year of the JROTC program.

The parade began with an inspection from reviewing officer John Schaller '71. Following the review, a number of JROTC Awards were announced honoring students for their hard work and leadership during the 2017-18 school year. After the awards, Mr. Schaller gave some brief remarks to the brigade on what JROTC meant to him and how it has helped him in his life. The final part of the parade portion was the Pass in Review during which each battalion marched passed the audience.

The final act of the evening was the change in command. The Class of 2018 passed on the leadership of the Corps to the Class of 2019. Following this transfer, the senior class celebrated with the traditional beret toss.

We thank all the senior members of the Raider Brigade for their commitment to the Corps and wish them the best of luck after their graduation.
