French Drums and Fifes at Fort Carillon (Fort Ticonderoga), 2008

Taken June 28th, 2008, during the 250th Anniversary Re-enactment of the Battle of Carillon.

In terms of authenticity, you can have a field day criticizing what's going on in this video. But Tambour La Mèche is among the musicians, and doing a good job representing the Compagnie de Lacorne.

Fondée en 2001, la compagnie de Lacorne est un regroupement de personnes bénévoles, passionnées d'histoire, qui ont pour objectif principal de reproduire le plus fidèlement possible une compagnie franche de la Marine durant la période 1720-1760. Organisme sans but lucratif, la compagnie compte près d'une trentaine de valeureux soldats, sans compter leurs conjointes et enfants.

Founded in 2001, the compagnie de Lacorne is a group of history enthusiasts who aim to reproduce, as accurately as possible, a independent company of French naval infantry during the years 1720-1760. A non-profit organization, the unit consists of around thirty brave men, joined by many of their families.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask; although the groups operates in French, we can speak English.
