This is the best video I have seen in weeks, if not years. I love the fife and drum. Thank you so much for sharing.
I was a little kid in 1976, but remember all the parades and the high school marching band passing by our house. Our home was miles away from the HS, so they must have gone all over town.
BTW: Are there young people who even do this anymore? I cannot imagine any kids in this day and age. It would be considered, well, darn right hokey.
My father in law would always talk about how amazing the bicentennial was. I'm a bit of a fan of the American Revolution myself. The performance was enjoyable to see!

There are many! My corps…coming up on 70 years old in 2028 still starts youngsters at 10 and they are paid!

Interesting. I have a friend who was a fifer in the Scots Guards.
Our “Musick Master” from 1972-1992 was, before coming to us, the youngest Drum Major in the history of the Scots Guard Regiment, Alfred John C. Moon. He was interviewed by “The Bottom of the Glass Podcast” toward the end of his long life: https://podm8.com/episodes/the-bottom-of-the-glass-podcast/the-bottom-of-the-glass-season-2-episode-11-the-great-john-moon-h2ijwpt2os
