Inspiration

In the 18th century, the cadences and tunes of fife and drum players helped military leaders organize and command troops in battle. Our world-renowned Colonial Williamsburg Fifes and Drums are a semi-military corps of musicians that continues the 18th-century practice of recruiting youth. Each member must pass tune and marching requirements to advance through the ranks. They have performed throughout the country at such prestigious events as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Lexington and Concord 225th Celebration in Boston, and several events celebrating America's 400th Anniversary of the first permanent English settlement in the Americas, including the visit of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to Colonial Williamsburg in 2007.
