I think a lot of the wearing of 1As and the length and fanfare was because the Wing Commander was promoted from Col. to BGen shortly before the parade -- they wanted a big party. But I agree -- do the standing at attention stuf, the pennant exchange, the three march pasts and that stuff on parade, and then do the other stuff at the reception.
