Fifes and Drums group still in step as it turns 50 ...
WILLIAMSBURG By tradition, members of the Colonial Williamsburg Fifes and Drums get drummed out of the corps at age 18, the summer after they graduate from high school. That doesn't necessarily mean their days playing "Yankee Doodle" and "The World Turned Upside Down" are over. In fact, some veterans of the group never give up the rattle of the snare and the fife's shrill song.
