The Colonial Musketeers Fife and Drum Corps was established in 1975 to help celebrate our Nation's Bicentennial.  The instruments we play and the uniforms we wear today are authentic replicas of the ones worn by the continental marines in 1776.

   Due to our continued popularity, we perform over 50 events each year.  The Corps has traveled throughout the United States and abroad.

   Some of the highlights of our performances are:

   The Corps is opened to girls and boys between the ages of 8 and 21.  No musical experience is necessary.  We hire professional instructors to teach all levels from beginner to advanced.

   The Corps has a scholarship fund based on participation in Corps activities.  This grant is given back to the member upon graduation from high school.

   The Corps is a non-profit organization run by a board of trustees.  The only non-volunteers are the professional instructors hired for musical instruction.  The meetings of the Board are held every other month and notices are posted on the monthly calendar of events.

   Funding for the Corps comes through performing at parades, concerts, fundraising, and donations.

   The Corps practices every Friday evening from 7pm to 9:30pm in the Community Center on Main Street in Hackettstown, NJ.  The Corps provides all music lessons, marching instruction, uniforms, instruments, fun activities, and transportation.  The sign-up fee and the monthly dues are minimal.
