About this Event
This is a fun, educational event for young fifers and drummers* between the ages of 8** and 18. Attendees will have many opportunities to hone their playing skills in group rehearsals as well as in individual settings. This year, the two-day event will allow you to choose your classes and put together a schedule that reflects your interests! Space is limited, and attendees will be accepted on a first come first serve basis.
The bulk of the instruction and performances will be held on October 5, 2024. We will finish the first day with a massed bands performance, a performance by The U.S. Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps with a special appearance by The U.S. Army Drill Team, and a jam session. Private lessons will be offered on October 6, 2024. Participants are not required to stay for the duration of the weekend.
Each attendee must be registered separately, but you may use the same email address for more than one registration. This e-mail address can be used to log in and view/print your tickets anytime after you have completed registration.
*Attendees interested in attending as a bugler or a Drum Major can select that as their preferred "instrument" during registration.
**Exceptions for younger students can be made. Email us at [email protected], or call MSG Brooke Stevens and SFC Erin McHale at 703-696-8521 before submitting your registration.
