well fifes and drums were an essential(excuse my spelling) part of the 18th century army. since you usally couldnt hear a commander yelling out a command because of screaming men, cannons booming, muskets firing, drums and fifes could be easily heard over the roar of a battle feild, so after awhile drums and fifes came into most european armies.

The sound you hear is a fife. As important as a drum to Martial Music of the 18th century. The British & Continental armies required them. As did every army in the world at the time. There are some great vids on here with Fife & Drum music. Search for "Old Guard" on here and although the fifes aren't historically accurate (made for better tone and slightly larger, etc) and during the RevWar Bass Drums weren't used in the field, they have some wonderful variations in sound. =)

By far one the best reenactments that I've participated in. I am in the 64th Regiment of Foot, which regiment are you in? BTW the 64th won Sunday's firing competition by a second...I was thrilled like heck lol...

I'm surprised that you don't recognize the Captain of "H" Company, 4th Battalion Royal Artillery? The Artillery Coy. attached to the 64th...btw, Excellent job on the competition. I would expect nothing less from the 64th! =)
Nice to make your acquaintance.
Cheers, Rex

As a participant, it had to be one of the best years, of eight, that I can remember weather-wise! =)
Hope to see you there again next year... (PS I'm glad you captured the Artillery-Infantry demo)

i Think you should play the song called The british grenadiers :P thats a regiment but theirs a song to it aswell that they do and when it plays it strikes fear into the heart of the enemy and makes me proud to be British.

Actually, that is exactly the song the fifer is playing. Slightly different to the modern one, but one in the same. The one you hear is the correct 18th century version. Truly as great song indeed!
