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: Beginning in October 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. Italics indicate tunes that are likely to require special attention. 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.
