The Williamsburg General Store has decided that they should feature Williamsburg Field Musick on their company van. These pictures were taken in the parking lot of the General Store. We perform 3 nights per week outside of the store. Many visitors stop and shop to the sounds of fife and drum.

We were invited back to play the National Anthem for the start of the Colonial Athletic Association Men's Championship Basketball game held on March 10, 2008. As always, this is an honor to be invited to do this performance. This year was fun since The College of William & Mary made it into the finals. Enjoy the photos.

Behind the Scenes/ John Adams

2008-04-01T16:40:00.000-07:00

We thought it might be fun to view a few behind the scenes photos during our time on the set of the HBO Miniseries, John Adams. Notice that a couple of the photos were taken during the shooting of the Boston Tea Party scene that did not make it into the 7 part miniseries. Maybe it will show up as an extra scene when the DVD is released. Wishful thinking.

John Adams Miniseries Update

After a long wait, the John Adams Miniseries was finally on TV. Several of the Williamsburg Field Musick members made it to the small screen. Enjoy these photos taken directly from the broadcast on HBO.

Lance in Edinburgh

2007-08-17T19:11:00.000-07:00

Lance, partner of Williamsburg Field Musick, had an opportunity to travel to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo to perform with the Middlesex County Volunteers Fifes & Drums. The tattoo is presented every year in Edinburgh Scotland since 1950. Only a handful of American groups have appeared at this most prestigious international tattoo during its fifty-seven year history, and never has there been a fife and drum ensemble.

Sail Virginia Norfolk, Virginia

2007-07-02T17:26:00.000-07:00

We had a wonderful opportunity to perform for 3 days during Sail Virginia held in Norfolk, Virginia in June 2007. Tall ships, crafts, and great entertainment were enjoyed by the large crowds that turned out to enjoy the wonderful weather. Here is a picture of Williamsburg Field Musick performing along the waterfront with many tall ships in the background.

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

2007-05-11T05:02:00.000-07:00

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

2007-05-10T16:50:00.000-07:00

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

2007-05-10T16:07:00.000-07:00

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.
