Fife & Drum Corps

Europe 1988

In 1988, under the directorship of Denise Wilson, the corps realized its dream to seek the roots of Les Compagnies Franches de la Marine by travelling to France. For two weeks Tippecanoe travelled by bus from city to city in France.  Our travels took us first to Paris, then to Rouen in Normandy, then all the way across France to Basel, Switzerland.

Our chariot awaits; a 747 with a
suprisingly low beverage supply.

Our filght attendant was so
impressed, he came to our performance
in Paris, the day after our arrival.
