The Towpath Volunteers Fife and Drum Corps were started in 1978. Over the last 30 years we have grown to a membership of close to 100 people and have alumni of several thousand. These present as well as our past members have come to us and learned many things including music, history, and patriotism and being a part of our family.

We are a tax exempt, not for profit, self supporting charitable organization (and is that a mouth full!) whose total source of income is derived from paid performances and parade prize money. Unfortunately, with parade organizers cutting back on what they pay bands or just cutting back on the total number of bands to their event and other fireman’s or festival parades being canceled, we find it harder and harder to make ends meet. To continue to make the cost of being a member free, as well as providing equipment and uniforms, we undertake fund raising events such as our Chicken BBQ.
