Middlesex County 4H Fife and Drum

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of a marching band? It's a group of people who play music while they walk in a parade. Well, the Middlesex County 4H Fife and Drum is a special type of marching band.

Instead of regular instruments like trumpets and drums, this band plays fifes and drums. A fife is a small, high-pitched flute and a drum is, well, a drum! These instruments were used a long time ago for soldiers in battles, to help them march in formation and keep time.

Now, the Middlesex County 4H Fife and Drum band is made up of kids from 4-H groups in Middlesex County, which is in the state of New Jersey. These kids learn how to play the fifes and drums and how to march in formation.

And when they're all together, playing and marching, it's a really cool sight and sound! They might even participate in parades and events around their community. So that's the Middlesex County 4H Fife and Drum in a nutshell - a special marching band that plays fifes and drums and is made up of kids from 4-H groups.
