* Posted on behalf of the Camp Chase Fifes and Drums

The Camp Chase Fifes and Drums has been a leader in historical
military field music since the early 1980s.   An authentic recreation of a
Civil War-period regimental fife and drum corps founded in 1983, the
corps is named after the large Union Army training camp that was located
near Columbus, Ohio during the war. Members are from across Ohio and
several neighboring states. Their music, played on authentic wooden
fifes and rope tension drums, comes from the military field music
manuals utilized by the armies of America and Europe from the mid 18th
century to the late 19th century. .

The corps performs regularly at historical events and
commemorations, reenactments, musters and musical programs around the
country. Some of its best remembered performances began with its
participation in the 1985 Presidential Inaugural. Then there was its
role in the movies GETTYSBURG, and the prequel GODS AND GENERALS.   In
2000 the corps performed with Doc Severenson and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra,
conducted by Erich Kunzel, in a special July 4th performance broadcast
nationally on PBS, and has been a active supporter of the annual Don
Hubbard Music School.
