RMC Sunset Ceremony

The ceremony will feature a fanfare, the Fort Frederick Guard - a reenactment team that demonstrates the infantry tactics of RMC during the late 19th century (funded by the Class of 1999), around the time of the original first 18 cadets of RMC known as the "Old Eighteen" - using original Martini-Henry Mk1 rifles firing blanks in addition to a Naval Field Gun, a Silent Drill demonstration, Indigenous Leadership Opportunity Year drummers, performances by Highland dancers and colour party demonstrations with RMC’s prestigious band, an honour guard performing a ‘feu de joie’, and a lone piper on the top of RMC’s clock tower, leading spectators to the event finale: a seven-minute fireworks show at sunset.

Many of the activities presented in this ceremony benefit from ongoing financial support from the RMC Alumni Association.
