Fifes and Drums of York Town Performances at the Victory Monument

Join us at the Victory Monument for live performances by the Fifes and Drums of York Town—a dedicated corps of students, parents, instructors, and supporters who bring history alive through the powerful sounds of 18th‑century field music.

As the hometown corps of the place where American independence was won, their mission carries special meaning. Formed in 1976 during America’s Bicentennial, they continue to preserve and present authentic Revolutionary War–era fife and drum traditions—while teaching leadership, music, and history to the next generation.
