Fife and Drum
A living history lesson, Spirit of America Fife and Drum Corps plays traditional music on wooden, key-less fifes and rope-tension drums, marching in parades and musters all over New England. The corps uniform is an exact replica of the musicians´ uniforms from the First U.S. Infantry Regiment in the War of 1812. From the pewter buttons hand-cast in actual button molds, to hand-stitched leather "shako" hats with ostrich feather plumes, every detail is accurate. Building on their local history, the corps carries itself with pride, honoring the courage and vigilance of the Americans who fought so that our country might maintain independence during the crucial time period in our nation´s history. |
