Corps Invitation
Greetings Fellow Ancients Fife and Drum Corps,
The William Diamond Junior Fife and Drum Corps cordially invites you to our annual Lexington Muster,
to be held on May 2-3, 2008. This year will be our 6th annual muster as a corps, and we are planning
some very special events. We hope you can join us for what will be a fun and exciting weekend!
Again this year the Muster will take place at Lower Hayden Park (located on Worthen Road in the center
of Lexington). This location enables us to have camping and vendors on the same site as the Muster field.
There will be an indoor jam session (within walking distance of the muster field) on both
Friday and Saturday nights.
The tentative schedule of events is as follows:
Friday evening May 2, 2008 at 7:00 PM, there will be a short tattoo. The venue for the tattoo is Hastings Park,
located in the center of Lexington and within walking distance from the muster field. We will have three featured
corps performing. Following the tattoo, there will be an indoor jam session.
Saturday, May 3, 2008 at 11:00 AM, the parade steps off from the center of Lexington at The Lexington Green, ending
at the muster field. The parade length is approximately one mile. At the end of the parade the muster activities will
immediately commence.
Provincial and British re-enactors have been invited to attend and set up camp, depicting daily life in the
18th Century. There will be a colonial fair run by the Rotary Club with all types of colonial crafts and
food. At the conclusion of the muster, a complimentary spaghetti dinner will be offered, followed by a jam session.
Camping is available on the rise just above the muster field with an area for RV's.
For those who desire slightly softer accommodations we are enclosing a list of local
hotels. Discounted hotel rates have been arranged at the Holiday Inn Express
in Lexington.
We would love to have your corps join us! If you are interested in participating, please complete the
form and return no later than April 1, 2008, or contact me directly
at the number listed below. We must limit participation to the first 30 corps responding, so reply early.
In the Ancient Spirit, and for William Diamond Junior Fife and Drum Corps,
Carmin Calabrese
