The class of 2016 of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets will complete the annual Caldwell March from the Caldwell Fields area to the Upper Quad of Virginia Tech. This is the second half of the twenty-six mile march made in 1872 by Addison Caldwell, the first cadet and student at Virginia Tech. During the fall semester, the freshmen class completed the first thirteen miles of the march starting at the Caldwell homestead.

After the march the Regimental Band, the Highty-Tighties, will play and Skipper, the Regimental cannon, will be fired when the cadets first enter the Quad, and on the first note of Tech Triumph. There will be two shots total, the first shot will be at approximately 2:30 p.m. and the final shot will be at about 2:45 p.m. Actual time depends on how long the march takes and is subject to weather and road conditions.

Are all welcome to come out and view the Regiment as it marches through town and to watch the ceremony on Upper Quad once the cadets return to campus.
