The Civil War Troopers

Newburgh, NY

The stirring sounds of the 1800s are brought to life by the Civil War Troopers through their unique and contemporary arrangements of 19th Century field music.

Founded in 1982, the Troopers perform in parades, musters and at festivals throughout the Hudson Valley and the New England states. They have appeared in halftime shows at West Point and on television's popular morning show Good Day, New York.

Through their performances, the Troopers strive to foster an appreciation of fife and drum music. To educate the public about the history and traditions of American field music, they host an annual Muster, bringing fife and drum corps from New England and other states together to "muster on the village green" in a tradition dating back to colonial times.
