Lancraft Fife and Drum Corps
We are happy to be able to offer this fine recording of one of America's legendary “Ancient” corps, Lancraft Fife and Drum corps.
Now long established in North Haven, Connecticut, Lancraft was originally formed in New Haven, Connecticut in 1888. This makes the corps one of the oldest continually operating drum corps in the country.
Lancraft was named for Ed Lancraft who provided the first Continental uniforms for the corps.
Lancraft Fife and Drum Corps has been a many time Connecticut State and Northeastern Champion. The corps produced many individual champions as well. The internationally famed champion rudimental drummer and teacher, Frank Arsenault was once a member of Lancraft.
Most importantly, Lancraft has maintained a quality of style and performance that is admired throughout the drum corps world.
Please check out this historic recording.
