| Gloucester Light Infantry Field Music |
| Gloucester Light Infantry Field Music is a recent addition to the Gloucester Light Infantry. It was established in June 2006 by Fife Major JoAnna Arias. Fife Major Arias is providing instruction at this time to all fifers, while Major Joseph Arias is providing drum instruction. The Fife & Drum meets Thursday evenings at 7pm at the Armory located on Dorr Drive in Chepachet, RI. The fife and drum corps is seeking new members to fill in the ranks. Enlistees of any musical background are invited to join us at the Armory on Thursday evenings at 6:30pm. All training will be provided. This will be the fife & drum corps first season as a corps and has several parades and re-enactments lined up. We will be working hard to raise funds to provide the corps with new uniforms and drums. Also, the unit hopes to host a small gathering for other fife & drum corps in Rhode Island to get to know others involved in fifing and drumming. A special thanks to the Kentish Guards for their support to the unit.
