The Middlesex County 4-H Fife & Drum Corps was formed in 1972 as a 4-H club in
Concord, Massachusetts in anticipation of that town’s celebration of our country’s bicentennial.
Today, its members come from over a dozen different towns in eastern Massachusetts, and they
range in age from eight to seventeen. Youth leadership is the cornerstone of 4-H and this
fife & drum corps embodies just that. The kids, quite literally, run the show. All of
its members share a love of music and history, and are proud to carry the tradition of fife
and drum into the future.
In addition to numerous parades and civic ceremonies, the 4-H corps has marched through the
hallways of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, participated in living history days at our
National Historical Parks, and performed for crowds in Market Square in Colonial
Williamsburg. And for over 30 years, the 4-H Fifes & Drums has performed as the Honor
Corps for the Concord Patriots Day parade, leading the procession across the historic North
Bridge to commemorate the start of the American Revolution. "
On April 13, 2008, the Corps played at the Bedford Polecapping, Merriam's Corner in Concord, and the Paul Revere Capture Site in Lincoln. Below is a video taken from the event at the Paul Revere Capture Site.
