Special Events to Share

We opened for the Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg on January 10 for the 2026 kick-off event for America250PA and the “Bells of PA”. With us is the PA Department of Veterans and Military Affairs Color Guard, Miss Pennsylvania, the Executive Director of America250PA, Cassandra Coleman, and the Agricultural Secretary and guest speaker, Russell Redding. Also with us is Betsy Ross and the PA Mascots the Hershey’s Kiss and the 250PA Keystone.

Carpenter’s Hall was the site of America250PA’s convening of states and partners in preparation for the nation’s Semiquincentennial. Philly Fife and Drum was at the ground floor of these celebrations.

The Philly Fife and Drum corps play the six hole Model F fife in Bb. These fifes were originally offered for sale through the Be-A-Fifer site run by Ed Boyle www.beafifer.com, which is no longer in service. Feel free to make inquiries about the Model F through our director Lois Herbine- [email protected]

Some of our latest videos are of PhillyDrummer Pat O’Shea and PhillyFifer Lois Herbine and their play-along videos. One week after her Monmouth Battlefield video was posted our director was invited to play the actual recreation of the battle as the British fifer. More about her adventure can be found on Facebook using the link below.
