Each group performs a medley of favorite songs, including Revolutionary War standards such as &#8220;York Fusiliers&#8221; and &#8220;Chester,&#8221; and Civil War tunes such as &#8220;The Girl I Left Behind&#8221; and &#8220;The Battle Hymn of the Republic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Various awards are presented at the Deep River Ancient Muster for &#8220;non-competitive&#8221; categories as group traveling the farthest and the group with the most marching participants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Muster Date:<\/strong> The Deep River Ancient Muster is always the 3rd Saturday in July<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tatoo: <\/strong> Friday starting at 7:00 pm at Devitt\u2019s Field<\/p>\n<p><strong>Host Corps:<\/strong> Deep River Junior Ancients<\/p>\n<p><strong>PARTICIPANT&#8217;S NOTE:<\/strong> You MUST read and accept the <a class=\"blue\" href=\"http:\/\/dram.fifedrum.org\/DRAM%20Guidelines%207-15-17.html\" target=\"_New\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DRAM Guidelines and Information<\/a> page before going to the Muster Registration pages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On-line muster registration:<\/strong> Access to on-line registration is at the end of the DRAM Guidelines detail page, and will end on JULY 1.

It\u2019s important for all drum corps to retain their distinctive sound and to carry their traditions forward. Unlike contemporary music that is often &#8220;interpreted&#8221; by performers, the music of the eras played by these groups is history, and as such is played in its original composition.<\/p>\n<p>During the early Colonial era, America\u2019s fife and drum music grew out of necessity to communicate across distances of up to five miles. Before foundries were established that could cast church bells, town drummers notified citizens of public events.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the Revolutionary and Civil wars, percussion instruments were used to tell troops when to wake, eat, work, sleep or be on alert. By the Civil War, young boys were recruited for the task of playing music for foot soldiers to break up the monotony of long marches and to inform troops when to assemble, charge, retreat or cease-fire. During the same period, cavalries introduced a brass horn to the music of war.<\/p>\n<p>After the Civil War ends, the bugle takes the place of fife and drum for military purposes, and the fife and drum become a recreational and nostalgic part of music.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20760\" style=\"margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Westbrook-Drum-Corps-at-Deep-River-Ancient-Muster-01-850x567.jpg\" alt=\"Westbrook Drum Corps at Deep River Ancient Muster\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Westbrook-Drum-Corps-at-Deep-River-Ancient-Muster-01-850x567-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Westbrook-Drum-Corps-at-Deep-River-Ancient-Muster-01-850x567-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Westbrook-Drum-Corps-at-Deep-River-Ancient-Muster-01-850x567-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Westbrook-Drum-Corps-at-Deep-River-Ancient-Muster-01-850x567-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Westbrook-Drum-Corps-at-Deep-River-Ancient-Muster-01-850x567-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Westbrook-Drum-Corps-at-Deep-River-Ancient-Muster-01-850x567-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Westbrook-Drum-Corps-at-Deep-River-Ancient-Muster-01-850x567.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mustering a Tradition: About the Deep River Ancient Muster<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Deep River Ancient Muster traces its roots to May 13, 1879, when five area fife and drum corps participated in a &#8220;field day&#8221; at Devitt\u2019s Field in Deep River.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were competitive events, though they weren\u2019t very competitive.

Fife and Drum Corps are a musical group that consists of flutes or fifes and drums. In the US, fife and drum corps specializing in colonial period impressions with wooden fifes and wooden rope tension snare drums and bass drums are known as Ancient Fife and Drum Corps. \r\n\r\nMost fife and drum corps events include marches in parades, concert performances in festivals and state fairs, and expositions. Many Fife and Drum Corps events take place at Forts of different eras that dot the US (Fort Ticonderoga, Old Fort Niagra, etc.). Some fife and drum corps focus on interpreting a specific time period and spend some time portraying field musicians of the era at living history events. Still others perform together at musters, particularly in the Northeast, but also nationally.\r\n\r\nThe typical uniforms of the Ancient Fife and Drum Corps is a representation of some American Revolutionary War American military uniform. Often seen are tricorn hats, waistcoats, knickers or knee breeches, ruffled cuffs, neck stocks, buckled shoes similar those by the Continental Army and Marines.

At practice the members work on their marching skills and have individual and group lessons in the art of fifing, snare and bass drumming, and corps majoring. The Corp also provides uniforms and drums for the members.<\/p>\n<p>DRJA participates in approximately 25 events a year. Events include marching in parades and musters, as well as performances throughout the area.

The Marquis is a historical recreation of a military unit of the 18th century, and has maintained historic accuracy with few exceptions. Founded in 1969 in Granby, Connecticut, the Marquis is among 120 ancient corps registered with the Company of Fifers and Drummers, and one of only 15 corps nationwide with an all youth membership. The Corps performs in parades and musters throughout the northeastern United States, and has traveled as far afield as England and Switzerland. We have won numerous awards throughout the years, including Best Ancients, Best Musical Unit and Best Marching Unit.<\/p>\n<p>The Marquis is an all-volunteer-managed, 4-H affiliated organization. Our operations are funded by performance revenue and donations. Donations may be mailed to our address or made via Paypal on our website.<\/p>\n<p>The Marquis of Granby is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to patriotism, honoring veterans and the military, and providing our youth members an enriching experience of music, history and leadership. We take pride in bringing pageantry to events, both large and small, public and private. The corps may be hired for events by contacting our Director.<\/p>\n<p>[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;History&#8221;]\nOur corps was founded in 1969 with the intention of creating a corps that could add both music and pageantry to community events. The original founders sought to demonstrate the sound and presence of a pre-revolutionary colonial militia sponsored by a titled Englishman, John Manners (thus the English pronunciation of Marquis) who was the titular head of a militia in the colonies before the Revolution. The Connecticut 18th Militia was located in the area we now know as The Granbys, with Joseph Forward as Captain of one of the companies in the militia. Thus, the official name for our present day corps is: The Connecticut 18th Militia, Captains Joseph Forward\u2019s Company, The Marquis of Granby\u2019s Regiment.<\/p>\n<p>[embedyt]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=txcFxG1s6t4&amp;width=650&amp;height=400[\/embedyt]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 5px;\">Marquis of Granby Ancient Fyfe and Drum Corps<\/h4>\n<p>Captain Joseph Forward is buried in East Granby, CT. One of the ninety-six corps registered with The Company of Fifers and Drummers (headquartered in Ivoryton, CT), the Marquis of Granby is one of a few whose drum major and flag line follows the Von Steuben manual of arms. Von Steuben was the Prussian officer who taught Washington\u2019s troops at Valley Forge the necessity of following precise drill and maneuvers in order to obtain the discipline necessary to be victorious in battle. Each new Marquis member must learn and become proficient in the musket drill before marching or advancing further. The same street discipline of our colonial troops is seen today when one observes the unique marching style of the Marquis with their \u201chigh-stepping\u201d and \u201ctrooping\u201d. You will not see a member of the Corps talk, smile, or look around while performing (well\u2026 hardly ever) as that would not have been allowed in a well-trained military unit in the Revolutionary War.[\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]\n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;Join Us&#8221;]\n<a class=\"blue\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marquisofgranby.org\/membership\" target=\"_New\">Join the Marquis of Granby Ancient Fyfe and Drum Corps<\/a> and participate in the historic fyfe and drum tradition.

It was awarded the first place trophy that day, the first of many to come. The Corps belongs to several competitive associations and competes in the Junior Ancient Class. The Windsor Corps is also a member of the Company of Fifers and Drummers Association. The Corps has performed in all of the New England states (except Maine), New York, Virginia, Florida, and Washington, DC. In the thirty years since it&#8217;s founding, the Corps has performed in over 1,500 parades, musters and competitions.<\/p>\n<p>The Windsor Fife and Drum Corps is an organization designed primarily for young people to preserve the music and history of the 18th century. We strive to establish an environment that encourages loyalty, friendship, teamwork, cooperation, leadership and a dedication to excellence among our members. The Windsor Fife and Drum Corps is proud to play a part in keeping the traditions of Colonial America alive.<\/p>\n<p>[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;Read More&#8221;]\nA proud tradition<br \/>\nSince marching in our first parade in Windsor in 1985, the Windsor Corps has been going strong. Each year we travel throughout the East Coast, performing to delighted crowds at parades, musters and concerts. We are proud to do our part in helping keep the traditions of fife and drum alive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We are always looking for new members!<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Windsor Fife and Drum Corps is a fun, family-friendly activity. Let our experienced instructors teach you the fife, snare or bass drum. Any child ages 7-21 is eligible to join, and no previous musical or marching experience is needed. Interested parents and adults can learn to march as part of our impressive color guard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fife<\/strong><br \/>\nNew fifers to the Windsor Corps are provided with 6-hole plastic fifes. These reproduction fifes are a good way for young members to learn the art of playing their instrument with minimal risk of damage to the instrument. Once a fifer has learned a set number of songs and is cleared to play with the ensemble, they are encouraged to purchase a wooden, 6-hole McDonough fife. These fifes are of a higher quality and produce a clearer tone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Snare and Bass Drums<\/strong><br \/>\nOur drummers play wooden, rope tensioned drums. The drums are the property of the Windsor Corps. Each new drummer is issued one pair of sticks and is encouraged to purchase a practice pad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drum Major<\/strong><br \/>\nThe drum major&#8217;s role is to lead the musicians when performing and keep a steady cadence. Using a wooden baton, signals are given to alert the members when and where to march.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join Today<\/strong><br \/>\nMembership is open to kids ages 7-21, and you do not need to be a Windsor resident to join. Many of our current members are from area towns. No previous musical experience is necessary. Weekly instruction is provided in your choice of fife, snare or bass drum.

One of their most loved pieces and their first competitive piece was Edinburgh Castle, written in 1976 for the Conn. Yanks. The current drumming arrangement was written by Jim Clark, one of their first drum instructors. Those who saw and heard them in the late 80\u2019s, heard the distinctive style of Ed Shank who had a background combining the Ancient tradition with contemporary drum and bugle corps and other modern percussive styles. Their most recent drum arranger is Paul Cormier. He is a legend in ancient drumming circles, and represents the beauty and style of the best of the heritage of ancient competitive drumming. Brendan Mason, taught by Paul for years, took over as drum instructor in the summer of 2006 and listeners will undoubtedly begin to hear some changes in style as Brendan writes for new pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Within the sphere of fifing, our first instructor Mal Karwoski had a distinctive style in his arrangements. Following him as arranger (Gail Degree instructed for several years but did not arrange) Jim Shea has attempted with each piece to present a learning experience and challenge to members of the fife line. Whether the challenge is chromatics, intonation, tonguing technique, speed, endurance or ornamentation, the line continually worked toward a particular musical goal. As the fife line changed personnel over the years, pieces would be brought back for the line to practice, review and relearn technique. Other fife instructors have been Phyllis Thompson and Pete Degree. Tishka Musco, our current fife instructor is constantly challenging the fife line and it&#8217;s abilities. She works to fine tune technique as well as intonation and musicality.<\/p>\n<p>[\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top:15px; margin-bottom:0;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/deep-river-ancient-muster\/\">View Deep River Ancient Muster Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:0;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/westbrook-drum-corps-muster\/\">View Westbrook Drum Corps Muster Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:15px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/windsor-fife-drum-corps-muster\/\">View Windsor Fife and Drum Corps Muster Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","slug":"connecticut-patriots-fife-and-drum-corps","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667.jpg","id":26889,"extension":"jpg","width":1000,"height":667,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-300x200.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":512,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-768x512.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-177x142.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":133,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-200x133.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":267,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-400x267.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-600x400.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":534,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Connecticut-Patriots-Fife-and-Drum-Corps-02-1000x667-800x534.jpg"}}},"phone":"203-525-9500","website":"http:\/\/www.ctpatriots.org","email":"campbell.patriots@outlook.com","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"Connecticut Patriots Fife and Drum Corps","description":"&lt;p&gt;Connecticut Patriots Fife and Drum Corps has been serving the Connecticut community since 1978.
