SUMMARY:Concord Fife and Drum Demonstration at The Old Manse
DESCRIPTION:Join Concord Fife and Drum as they bring to life the sounds and songs of the American Revolution! \nMusic had an important role to play in the Revolutionary war\, from keeping spirits up to helping direct soldiers on the battlefield. To celebrate the Fourth of July\, and the 250th anniversary of our country’s independence\, members of Concord Fife and Drum will join us under the Old Manse tent to share some of the music that was heard in New England throughout the Revolutionary War\, including songs heard at the Battle of the North Bridge. \nWhile this program is free for all\, advanced registration is suggested. \nThis program does not include admission to the historic house. If you would like to take a tour of the house and learn more about how one family was impacted by the Revolution\, tickets can be purchased here. \nCancellation Policy: In the event The Trustees cancels a program due to severe weather\, low enrollment\, or other circumstances\, we will notify registrants by email and issue a full refund or transfer to another scheduled program within two weeks of the cancellation. To cancel a reservation\, please contact the Old Manse 7 days prior to the start of the program to receive a full refund. Refunds and transfers will not be granted for cancellations placed fewer than 7 days before the start of the program.  \nQuestions?
