More About Our Group

We play 10-hole wooden fifes made by the Healy Flute Company. Instruments are supplied by the group or you can purchase your own.

Our uniforms are hand made by one of our members and are exact replicas of those worn by Union soldiers during the American Civil War. During the hottest months of the year, we wear our cooler uniforms for comfort.

We rehearse most Monday nights from 7–9 p.m. in Marlborough, Connecticut. We have members from all across the state.

Connecticut Valley Field Music performs in about two dozen events per year, including hometown parades and anniversaries, fife and drum musters, concerts, school programs, and other special presentations.

The corps travels around Connecticut and southern New England each year, with occasional trips to such destinations as Williamsburg, Virginia; and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We have traveled to Basil, Switzerland, twice—most recently in June 2017, where we performed several well-received concerts around Zurich, Basel, and Wädenswil.
