Song title is "Old 1812" and us marching to it Posted by: excelsiorbrigade
Video duration: 104 seconds Global video hits: 102981 The Excelsior Brigade Fife and Drum Corps marches through the union camp at the 2006 Hamlin Beach State Park Civil War reenactment. Old 1812 is a standard tune played by many ancient fife and drum corps and reenactors alike. This video, in it's original format, is a good example of the style of marching used by most ancient corps, and is an easier style with longer step than modern drum corps use.

I feel as though there is a break after the second 7 stroke roll. The transition between the double strokes and the single stroke 6-tuplet is not a smooth transition. Would you agree? The first 7 stroke roll has a clear release in time with the roll but the second has a slight pause before the release as though you are preparing your hands for the sixtuplet. Your technique is remarkable and being that you have much experience I wanted to clarify whether I am interpreting this properly or not.

Hey ... thanks for the nice compliments! Yes, I play in several marching groups - the Philadelphia Fife & Drum, the Troublemakers (Rudimental Drum Tribute to William H. Reamer) & Washington Memorial Pipe Band. I also played in two drum corps - Brookhaven Crusaders & the Keystone Regiment (that became the Crossmen). . Blessings, Mark Beecher

Nice. Are you in a corps? And what kind of sticks are you using?
