Photograph by David Coleman. The U.S. Army Fife and Drum Corps, a distinctive element of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), is a highlight of the Army's Twilight Tattoo performance. This unique musical ensemble brings the sounds of the American Revolution to life, offering spectators a glimpse into the military's musical heritage. Dressed in faithful reproductions of uniforms worn by the musicians of General George Washington's Continental Army, the Fife and Drum Corps presents a striking visual and auditory experience. Their red regimental coats, waistcoats, tricorn hats, and white powdered wigs transport the audience back to the 18th century. During the Twilight Tattoo, the Corps performs a variety of traditional military tunes and patriotic melodies on fifes, drums, and bugles. These instruments were crucial for military communication in the Revolutionary era, used to signal commands and boost morale on the battlefield. The repertoire of the Fife and Drum Corps includes historical marches, folk tunes, and patriotic songs that would have been familiar to soldiers and citizens of colonial and early America. Their performance not only entertains but also educates the audience about the important role of music in military history. As part of the larger Twilight Tattoo spectacle, the Fife and Drum Corps exemplifies the Army's commitment to honoring its heritage while showcasing its enduring traditions to the public. Their participation adds a unique historical dimension to this popular military pageant.
