Miss Virginia 2006 at Berkeley Plantation


Last October, we had the privilege to perform at a corporate event attended by 2006 Miss Virginia. The event was held at Berkeley Plantation located on the James River. It was a wonderful event and a great opportunity to have our photo taken with Amber Copley, Miss Virginia 2006.

Filming for HBO John Adams Miniseries


What a wonderful experience. We were asked to provide fife and drum talent during the filming of the upcoming HBO John Adams Miniseries. We participated during the filming of the scene when John Adams leaves Boston for Philadelphia (See photo) and the Boston Tea Party scene. These were long days, but very interesting. The miniseries will air in 2008, so keep an eye out for us. We hope to avoid the cutting room floor.

Exciting Performance


For the third year in a row, we were asked to play the National Anthem for the 2007 CAA Men's Championship Basketball Game held in the Richmond Coliseum. This year, Virginia Commonwealth University played George Mason University for the privilege to play in the NCAA Tournament. VCU won and went on to beat Duke in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. We played in front of our largest audience ever. It was a sell out with over 9,000 spectators. It was a real thrill!




Interesting Performances


We performed during the 2007 Democratic Caucus held this year at the Kingsmill Conference Center and Resort in Williamsburg, Virginia. Last year, Bono was the speaker. This year the speaker was former President Bill Clinton. On his way to the podium, he stopped to wish us well. A photographer traveling with him captured the greeting in this photo.
