The Indiana County Fife and Drum Corps is made up of students in grades 7-12 who reside within Indiana County and are learning how to perform American Fife and Drum music. The group is led by Mr. Paul Rode of Penns Manor School District and is assisted by Mr. Zack Karcher of Indiana Area School District.
The group's focus is on how to perform Fife and Drum music and learning about its role during the Revolutionary War. As The United States of America prepares to celebrate its 250th Anniversary in the year 2026, our intention is that members of the Indiana County Fife and Drum Corps will participate in local, regional, and national commemorations, ceremonies, and performances.
The Indiana County Fife and Drum Corps will serve as patriotic ambassadors from Indiana County spreading the spirit of independence and unity throughout our community as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of our nation.
