In 1948, an enthusiastic group of local families organized a fife and drum corps at the Poquonnock Bridge Fire Department. During these initial years, the fife and drum corps included parents and kids. 

​

In 1964, the fife and drum corps re-organized and became sponsored by the Groton Lodge of Elks as a junior corps for kids (ages 9-18). Membership swelled during the bi-centennial years to nearly 70 kids. The corps marched proudly from Maine to Florida.  

​

Since the 1980s, membership has fluctuated, and the coprs is actively seeking new members (ages 9-18) to join their ranks.

​

Nutmeg is the second oldest active junior fife & drum corps in the United States, and celebrated their 75th Anniversary in 2023. The corps invites you to join and be a part of history.

 

Nutmeg needs YOU to keep this corps on the road! Practices are held  Monday nights in Groton, CT.
