That drumline is full of beast players. Every one of them.

[@Scott-v8k]

I only knew one of the fife players, having served with him when he was stationed at Ft. Polk, Louisiana.

[@lifeobserver8079]

The ranks look very different since the height and weight regulations were changed. No more 5'10", 160 lb, all male soldiers. Wonderful to see women in the ranks!! Confluence has certainly captured the best of them!

It needs a ramp.

[@TheStickCollector]

Would be something I would participate in if I could avoid combat. Would be nice.

[@cadepresley7328]

This is literally all these guys and gals do. They’re not a combative mos. They play music for the army and that’s it

[@DanielElwell]

They still go through basic training though!

[@dylanclaude765]

[@christophenoir7400]

The red uniforms where english! The Washington continental army where gold and blue.

[@hyperfuzzysniper30]

In the days of field bands, musicians would wear an inverse of their army's colors to be distinguished from the infantrymen

[@LizardDoggo]

No. Do you really think that the Army would get that simple of a fact wrong? As said before, musicians were considered to be non-combatants, so as to easily identifiable by the armies in order to not kill them, they would wear the inverse. British regiments would wear (mostly) red coats with yellow facings, which meant their musicians wore yellow coats with red facings. To your point about the Continental Army: It was not your regular foot soldier who would wear the blue and gold coats, but only the officers, as the gold trim was a sign of a high rank. The unit that was assigned with the duty of protecting George Washington during the Revolutionary War wore the stereotypical blue coats with red facings, making the musicians of the unit wear red coats with blue.

You should look up the Royal Marine drummers. They're in blue.
