Drumming Up Interest

This month brings two big fife and drum musters in Massachusetts.

Old Sturbridge Village hosts its annual Drummers’ Call on Saturday, 11 September: “The Sturbridge Village Martial Music Adult Corps and Youth Fife & Drum Corps will be joined by visiting fife & drum corps.”

Two weeks later on Saturday, 25 September, is the annual Sudbury Muster, hosted by the Sudbury Minutemen and Longfellow’s Wayside Inn. In addition to the music, there will be sutlers, crafts vendors, and vaguely-historically-based family games.
