Originally produced as a vinyl record, "The Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps" was the Corps' first recording. This album contains some classic tunes and arrangements, inluding favorites such as "Downfall of Paris", "Brandywine Quickstep", and our first complete Drum Solo "Drums Along the Potomac"!
This recording features the popular "Drowsy Maggie," along with a number of medley and show arrangements.
The Historical Trumpets of The United States Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps bring to life the sounds of the Baroque trumpet and timpani through 18th century field, ceremonial, and art music. These recordings are performed on instruments inspired by those used in the 1700s.
Featured selections include works by Johann Ernst Altenburg as well as arrangements of music from colonial America, the courts of Europe, and 18th century trumpet calls.
