Fife and drum music is a traditional genre that originated in the United States during the Revolutionary War. It is characterized by the use of fife and drum instruments, which were commonly used by military bands during that time. The music is upbeat and lively, often played at parades and other patriotic events. Nathan Hale Ancient Fifes & Drums, United States Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, and 1st Michigan Colonial Fife And Drum Corps are all well-known groups that specialize in this genre and have helped to keep the tradition alive.
