Final Review

[ Corps Center's Final Review Information Page ]

Final Review is the last activity of the Corps of Cadets as a unit before it is dismissed for the summer. It is a full military review at Simpson Drill Field of the entire Corps of Cadets separated into two passes. The reviewing stand usually consists of high ranking military and university officials and visiting dignitaries, and the pass in review allows the reviewing officials to inspect the ranks of the Corps as they march past.

After the first pass, the cadets go back to the dorms where they prepare for a second pass, this time only three classes march: the new seniors, juniors, and sophomores. The second pass of final review is the only time the Corps marches without freshmen. It is also the new seniors' first public appearance in their new senior boots and new roles as the leaders of campus.

The old seniors form a line facing the Corps, and this second pass is made in their honor. The Corps of Cadets passes in review this time saluting the seniors rather then the reviewing officers when each outfit passes its old senior class.
