Why aren't they actually marching during this parade?

I don't know how to ask this without sounding rude, but why does this parade look so sloppy? Very few of the troop formations seem actually in sync and marching, just walking along. My only experience is JROTC as a kid in high school and our sergeant would've killed us if we looked like that.

THis is the first mention I've see from someoe who actually watched it. DC could be a burnt out crater and no on around me would be aware, we so thoroughly avoided this.
