The United States Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps. Official Escort to the President.
Nothing evokes the birth of our nation like the a performance by the Old Guard! The uniforms and traditions are compelling but the music of the day puts it over top! I first saw them in a Inaugural parade and was a little surprised to see the red coats! After some research found that the military musicians of the period wore the reverse colors of the regiments to which they were assigned. Audio recordings are available for free from the website.

The uniforms worn by the Color Team are replicas of the 1784-style infantry uniforms worn by The Old Guard’s predecessor, the First American Regiment. The pattern of the uniform for wear by all Continental Army infantry units was approved by General George Washington in 1782. It consisted of a blue coat faced with a red collar, cuffs and lapels, white buttons and lining, long-fitting overalls, and a black cocked hat with cockade.
