TRAIN AS A CIVIL WAR FIELD MUSICIAN in a School modeled on the School of Practice, Governors Island, New York, circa 1861. Participants will
receive intensive instruction in Fife, Drum and Bugle in small group settings from some of the best field musicians and teachers in the country. Experienced living
historians and military re-enactors will teach military drill and protocols relevant to field musicians. Improve your musicianship and impression and demonstrate
your new skills at the closing ceremony and dress parade on Sunday afternoon, open to the public.
LIVE AS A CIVIL WAR SOLDIER from Reveille to Extinguish Lights. From 7:00 pm Friday until 2:00 pm Sunday, the schedule for all activities will be
completely regulated by bugle, drum, and fife. Military volunteers provide a 24-hour guard. Registration for the school includes hearty period meals and housing
at the historic Holcombe-Jimison Farmstead Museum near Lambertville, New Jersey.
