Tap your toes to the tunes played in Revolutionary America and let the music take you back down the path of history - right on the Freedom Trail where the historic events actually happened. Admire the skill of playing a six-hole fife, rope tension drums, and snare drums with gut strings stretched across the bottom that gives them their snap.

We've been celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Freedom Trail throughout the year, and this is a snappy way to merge Boston's rich history with its newest park. No one has hosted a fife and drum tattoo in Boston before and it's fabulous that we can do it to launch the next era of the city's cultural history. They'll play our history and play it loud!"
