We are an enthusiastic group of students, parents, instructors and supporters. Our group brings history alive for old York Town, and teaches music, history and leadership to our youth.

For 50 years, The Fifes and Drums of Yorktown has been dedicated to preserving American history through the music and traditions of 18th-century field music. Our Corps has helped shape generations of young musicians—teaching discipline, teamwork, confidence, and a deep respect for our nation’s past. In 2026, we proudly celebrate our 50th anniversary, a milestone that reflects decades of service, education, and community impact!

At the heart of our program is our headquarters building, now more than 20 years old. This building has been the home of countless rehearsals, lessons, uniform fittings, and friendships. After two decades of constant use, it is in critical need of capital improvements. Essential systems and infrastructure need to be updated to ensure the building remains safe, functional, and welcoming for our Corps and community members.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we want to honor our past while preparing for the future. These capital fund projects are not about expansion or luxury—they are about preservation. Your support will help ensure that The Fifes and Drums of Yorktown continues to inspire young people and represent our nation’s history for the next 50 years and beyond.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of those who believe in our mission. Every donation, large or small, helps protect this legacy of music, education, leadership and patriotism. Thank you for helping us keep history alive and the beat going!
