Wiki
Worden Field is a large grass field located on the campus of the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. First mentioned in 1890, the field served as the home stadium for the academy's Midshipmen football team from that year through 1923, replaced by Thompson Stadium in 1924. Since the early 1900s, the field has hosted all of the academy's various yearly parades and many of its drills. It has progressively grown smaller, due to the addition of buildings and roads within the academy.
The field is named for Admiral John Lorimer Worden, who joined the navy in 1834. He was captured by the South at the start of the Civil War, but was freed in 1862. He became captain of the ironclad USS Monitor and received considerable fame after its battle with the CSS Virginia at the Battle of Hampton Roads. Worden suffered eye injuries in the battle and gave up his command; he supervised ship construction for the rest of the war. He was the superintendent of the academy for five years (1869-1874), and died in 1897, a few years after the field was named after him.[1][2]

It does look like midshipment though. The cover devices look like the middie anchor, and the lack of awards and uniformity of personnel tell me it’s probably at least ROTC. Could be passing off to the junior class of a graduation.
Google maps Worden field Annapolis Md .
There is a video clip on a recent parade there and other photos .
I marched there enough to recognize it ……
This is 100% Navy. It was the Navy flag before the Navy flag. Looks like it could be Annapolis, but I don’t recognize any of the buildings.
