John Adkin’s March

Props to these guys for staying alive for 200 years to do this amazing performance

For those who wonder why this hits such a chord, songs like this one were played in the heat of battle to keep units marching foreword in formation as bullets and bombs were literally flying into them. A song to keep playing even as the drummer or fifer next to you drops dead because they took a musketball to the face.

These guys stayed the course....marching through horse $hit on a the job lads.

The day in 2004 my son and I spent in Colon Williamsburg was one of the most enjoyable of my life. I urge everyone to go there.

This tune goes harder than one'd expect, damn

I went to colonial Williamsburg as a kid in 1993 with my grandmother and the fife and drum corps began playing, marching down the street during our colonial dinner. I ran out in pure excitement. I’ve never forgotten it, 30 years later.

I can see they must practice alot. Drum and fifers are awesome. All local Williamsburg, VA. Residents. Thank you for sharing. A Virginian 🇺🇸

[csvickers]

If i should fall to rise no more as many comrades did before, ask the fifes and drums to play over the hills and far away. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[timrube]

You know when the drummers put their sticks up and the fifes took over it sent the crowds back then nuts.

If you have never been to Williamsburg Virginia it is well worth the trip.

Sounds inspiring for going into battle and keeping your courage up. Blessed be our colonial ancestors and those who fought for our nation throughtout the history of America.
