Junior Colonials Fife
and Drum Corps was organized in 1961 to educate its members in
musicianship and in the heritage of the fife and drum movement. In
addition, a goal of the Corps was to provide fun for its members within
a family atmosphere. One of the original organizers of the corps
was Father Kenneth Kinner, Chaplain Emeritus of the Company of Fifers
and Drummers.
The
Junior Colonials attend musters, parades, and competitions throughout
the northeastern United States. Uniforms include black tricorn
hats, red vests, and black trousers. Designed by former corps
director, Buzz Allen, the Junior Colonials logo is the cricket, a
colonial symbol for good luck. It is featured on the corps banner
and flag.
