Mountain Fifes & Drums Live Music - Lake Arrowhead Village

Description

Mountain Fifes and Drums will hold their March-a-thon from 12-2 pm in Lake Arrowhead Village! Come by and enjoy their music and contribute to support this great local group! The Mountain Fifes & Drums, a 501(c)(3) youth music program founded in 2001, is a living history community service program for boys and girls ages 10-18. The mission of the Mountain Fifes & Drums is accomplished by teaching 18th-century military music and history through practice and performance on wooden fifes and rope-tensioned drums. Fifes and drums were the chosen instruments for military communications during the American Revolutionary War in which enlisted Continental Army musicians were instrumental in the successful coordination of American forces. The goal of every Mountain Fifes & Drums practice is to teach the same military discipline, leadership, drill, bearing, customs and courtesies expected in the Continental Army.
