| 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 Captain JoAnna Arias. Captain Arias is providing instruction at this time to all fifers, while Major Joseph Arias is providing drum instruction. Practices are held 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 every Thursday at 6:30pm. Saturday practices are held on Saturday afternoons at 3pm for anyone interested in extra practice. All training will be provided. The fife and drum has come a long way since June 2006 and has been performing in parades, ceremonies, musters, and 18th century battle re-enactments, and also camps 18th century style for many events. This is a video clip recorded before the Newport St. Patrick's Day Parade 2009.
