Testimonials
"The Great American Fife & Drum Band was the perfect opening act for our convention in Washington, D.C. When the lights went down and the band started marching up the center aisle playing the familiar patriotic tunes, the room went silent with awe. Every face was a smile as the youngest of the band led the way and the band took the stage. For a group with a focus on friendship, the Cuccia family’s story was a wonderful connection. Over the next four days of convention, guests kept talking about The Great American Fife & Drum Band – and I suspect they are still talking about this highlight of our meeting. We are grateful for the talents of The Great American Fife & Drum Band, the professionalism they conveyed and the ease for which it was to work with them to add something special to the convention."

We were pleased having the Great American Fife & Drum Band perform at the Bronx Columbus Day Parade this year. They were very professional and really displayed pride in what they do. This year was the first of hopefully many years we will have them perform in our parade.

Our town was amazed at the Cuccia's enthusiasm and patriotism during our small town BIG BANG parade for America. A Fife and Drum band with CHILDREN; marching as enthusiastically and patriotic as their parents? Yes and they added the perfect touch to our July 4th family event. Their music, the outfits, everything was spot on! The Great American Fife and Drum Band is GREAT and Pepperell wants to enjoy and celebrate America with the Cuccia's for years to come. They are a band I want my grandchildren to experience. May the 4th be with the Great American Fife and Drum Band June 30th 2018!
A BIG THANK-YOU.

"The Commission on Veterans Patriotic Events was thrilled to have The Great American Fife and Drum Band participate in our annual July 4th Parade in Southampton, NY. The Cuccia's are a very special family and their patriotism and dedication were quite apparent during their wonderful performance throughout the parade. They were a fantastic addition to our event and we look forward to seeing them again next year!"

Sweet sounds flooded the pinnacle moment of my life. Fifes and drums embraced the souls of our guests, as I held my head high with tears of bliss and marched down the aisle to my future. The tradition of music is carried on, through history, like family. The Cuccia’s talents and kind hearts, will forever be apart of our family.

We were thrilled to welcome the Great American Fife and Drum Band to our community. The senior residents in our village enjoyed the whole production- from learning about life in an early American military encampment, to the patriotic music, to seeing an entire large family come together in sync with kids of all ages, it was a festive treat that we look forward to repeating!

We had The Great American Fife & Drum Band break our surprise “Color War” event for our campers this past summer and it was so exciting as we had them side by side with a live Mariachi band going head to head – almost like a battle of the bands. It was a delight to see their talent and they were dressed the part from head to toe. This is one band you definitely want to hire for your special event.
