Home   PRACTICE CALENDAR Event Calendar

Summer practice is at the Wayside Inn in colonial attire and includes a trip through the Inn to deafen the diners and knock over some chairs. We meet weekly from after the march on April 19 through the annual Faire and Muster the last Saturday in September. Sectional practice is in the parking lot behind the Inn and Companie practice is held on the front lawn. We generally retire within to the Old Bar for conversation and a few more tunes after practice.

Winter Practice: For 2025, beginning October 15 we repair indoors at the Inn for practice, not in colonial dress.

Below is a list of the music we will be working on each week with links to the sheet music. Note that "Combined" files include both fife and drum parts. Drum parts are available in either Up/Down or Right/Left notations.

Please remember that memorization is to be done in your individual home practice so you are prepared to work on unison, execution and expression at Companie practice.

The color of the tune titles reflect their practice classification: black is a focus tune, green a memory refresher, and red an extra challenge for those who want it. Classifications may change from week to week.

Sectional practice will concentrate on technique and the focus tunes. Memory refreshers and the extra challenge tune are likely to be included only in ensemble practice.
