The Excelsior Brigade of Fifes and Drums, is a combination living history fife and drum corps representing field music from the famed Excelsior Brigades and Ancient Fife and Drum Corps representing America's Ancient Fife and Drum community. The Excelsiors were the 70th through 74th New York State Volunteer Infantry regiments of the United States' Civil War. The Excelsiors saw action in many battles and were well known for their brilliant performance, professionalism and patriotism. The thundering drums and shrill fifes pierce through the crowds and harken back to a day when the nation was in crisis. The tunes stirr the soul and the presentation of music reminds us of a day long past when our Union tested true. Our stately step brings together authenticity, music excellence and family. Perhaps you should JOIN. We certainly want you to, and our experienced and qualified instructors can teach you and all members of your family the instruments and drill. You will be welcomed into an open, honest and friendly organization that has unprecidented value for it's members. No dues, and the corps supplies the high quality uniforms and instruments. Our uniforms are skillfully crafted and accurately portray historic New York State Volunteer Militia uniforms from the early war and are appropriate for reenactments and parade duty alike.
