Dedicated to the preservation of 18th century field music and drill. Yorktown’s hometown corps!
"The Fifes and Drums of York Town is partially supported by funding from the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts."
We had a great time performing at the Torggler and enjoying the amazing acoustics! Be sure to check out the Historical Expedition, ‘Revolution Close to Home’ open through October 25. This exhibit explores how the American Revolution impacted everyday people in Hampton Roads, bringing history to life through artifacts, interactive technology, and immersive experiences.
Join us at our upcoming performances, we’d love to see you there!🥁
We hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday!
Today’s performance along Main Street and at the Victory Monument on Day Two of the Sail Yorktown Festival! Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to say hello. We appreciate your support and enjoyed being part of the festivities!
We are set up in front of York Hall at Main & Ballard Streets today until 5pm during Sail Yorktown!
Stop by and say hello, learn about the corps, and discover how you can become part of Yorktown’s living history. Try your hand at one of our drums, try on authentic regimentals, and pick up a temporary tattoo while you’re here.
Whether you’re interested in music, history, community service, or joining the corps, we’d love to answer your questions and meet new friends.
