WANTED Dead or Alive!
 |
The Renegade Fyfe and Drum Corps has quickly become a crowd favorite because of it's musical and marching prowess as well as it's interaction with the audience. With lots of Yo Ho Ho and and a bit of snarling, the group's "Take No Prisoners" attitude exterior melts away when playing with the littles ones along the parade route. |
Award Winning Continues  The Renegade Fyfe and Drum Corps have continued its string of stellar performances with award winning performances at the Farmington ‘Punkin Hook’ Fireman’s Parade and the Prattsburg Summer Festival Parade. The Farmington Parade saw the Renegades thoroughly entertain the crowd with music as well as passing out of booty (beads). The rowdy Pirates heard many compliments throughout the parade route and after its completion. The fireman must have agreed as the Renegades received two awards, one for Unique Musical Group and the other, the coveted Francis T Parker Memorial Award as the crowd’s favorite group. To finish the weekend off, the Renegades traveled to Prattsburg for the Summer Festival Parade. Although a thunderstorm delayed the start of the parade, the people who stayed were thrilled to have the group. The group stopped and performed in front of the reviewing stand by the festival grounds and played for additional half an hour. Captain Jack took the Festival Princess captive and forced her and other captive wenches perform the infamous Wenches Dance. The Renegades were honored with 2 more awards, 1st Place Parade Unit Award as well as the Judges ‘Grand Prize’ Award. The surprising number of request for performances by the Renegade Fyfe and Drum Corps far beyond what the group expected. The group is excited about adding to the performance schedule and is in the process of determining which events would work in the schedule. |

Walk Away with 1st Place Unique Band With Pirate Flags a waving and music playing, the Renegade Fyfe and Drum Corps stormed the East Rochester Fireman's Parade. Marching in front of the Macedon Fire Department, the 20+ members entertained the crowd with music and beads throughout the parade route. Led by Captain Jack Morgan, the group received straight tens from the "Amateur Judging" on Commercial Street. Flag Carrier Iron Ann Cash required several trips to the "Treasure Chest" to replenish her bead supply. The celebration continued with song and beverage at the Beer Tent. Many of the local townspeople and visitors alike asking to have members of the group pose for pictures with them, a great sign of approval. After the grand fireworks display, the group's efforts were rewarded as they received 'First Place Unique Band' Award. A judge from the parade stopped and congratulated the group on and outstanding job and noting the drummers looked especially good. The group is eagerly awaiting it's next invasion. |
