Video Sample: MCV at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo's Salute to Australia
Middlesex County Volunteers Media Information
Members of the Middlesex County Volunteers Fifes & Drums (MCV) had the distinct honor of performing at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in August 2007. This marked the first fife and drum corps to ever perform at the fifty-seven year-old event, and the first avocational group from the United States. Previous U.S. representations – thirteen in the history of the event – have been either military or university ensembles. Since 2007, MCV has appeared at the 2009 Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo and the 2010 Edinburgh Military Tattoo's Salute to Australia.
Dressed in the 1779 uniform of the Continental Army, the group’s music spans over seven centuries. The group performs an average of sixty times a year, and has produced seven full-length recordings. Often seen as the image of Boston, MCV highlights Boston’s annual Harborfest celebration, and has performed with the Boston Pops at their July 4th Esplanade concert (most recently in 2010), the Holiday at Pops concert series at Symphony Hall (December 2006) as well as at Tanglewood and the special series of concerts during the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
Founded in 1982, Middlesex County Volunteers Fifes & Drums celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2007.
This intriguing story can be told in several ways. It is:
- the story of American’s past history, through the image, music and dedication to the country’s earliest citizens.
- the story of America’s present , a diverse group of individuals with a common goal, working together to perform in an international arena.
- the story of America’s future, designing a national – and international – collaboration within its vast membership breaking geographic boundaries.
