The Acceptance Day Parade is a powerful and symbolic event featuring the entire brigade of approximately 4,400 cadets. The ceremony begins with the new cadets marching out separately from their future companies. At a defining moment during the parade, an order is given for the companies to open ranks, allowing the new cadets to step in and officially join the Corps.
This moment represents the transition from new cadet to plebe and is a proud and emotional experience for both cadets and their families.
