About the Corps:
 
        The California Consolidated Drum Band (CCDB) became California's Official Fife and
        Drum Corps in June, 1997. The group was formed by members of the former Fort Sutter
        Fife and Drum Corps, the Field music of the National Civil War Association (NCWA), and
        the Fife and Drum Corps of the Reenactors of the American Civil War (RACW). In
        October, 1996, CCDB became the first California corps in the Company of Fifers and
        Drummers, truly spreading the Ancient music "from sea to shining sea." Most recently, the
        group has played an active role in California's Sesquicentennial celebrations.
