Great site, guys!!! Emma and I loved this video. She was very impressed by the drum playing and I loved the way you run the drumstick around the rim! The fifes sound super too - even with the wind! Keep up the good work out WEST!

"The fife and drum, which long ago

Called the folks to church on time

And told the soldiers when to go

And bounced along with beat and rhyme

"That which told of liberty's cry

And that which carried the firm hand

Of the justice of our great land

That would not tolerate the invader's plan

"This still sounds off hill and glen

And calls and shrikes to land and main

To not forget those mighty men

To take courage and rise again"

-Peter Bringe

The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations. And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies."

(Numbers 10:8b-9)
