The British Night Watch
Friday December 4th to Sunday, December 6th 2009
St. Augustine, Florida

Vol. XXXV, Issue 2
October 2009



October is here, the weather is getting cooler, and thoughts turn to a
Winter Break in Florida!
Registration numbers are pretty good so far, with over 100 pre-registered,
and over 25% are first time attenders! Expected turnout could top last year,
which hit nearly 400 participants.

Are You and Yours registered yet? Visit the website and sign up now at
http://www.britishnightwatch.org/Participant.htm registration is on the top
left. Unit Commanders and Adjutants, please forward this email to your
members, to allow them the chance to register for this event. If you have
received this email as a forward, contact me here <mailto:jt@...> to
add (or remove)  you on the master email list.

The strong registration numbers of new folks suggest we should give a basic
"What should I expect" paragraph. The website www.britishnightwatch.org has
nearly every question already answered, so spend some time cruising through
the site, and contact us if you still want more answers, we're here to help.

         So, you're thinking about a Florida Reenactment. December is
probably the best time to do go- the weather is nice, with normal lows in
the 50's, and highs in the 70's- good weather for wearing what we wear. Now,
this event is kinda different from most Rev War events out there. To those
that camp, we camp in a restored area of a nearly 450 year old city, across
from the oldest and largest masonry Fort in the continental U.S., and while
camp is a little tight, we manage to fit in pretty well. For those that
wish, shopping, dining, and hotels are close, with much in walking distance
to camp. I've been told by those more experienced than myself that there are
7 bars within crawling distance of our camping area as well. (And at least
as many Churches!)
         "My portrayal is not British" you say?  Either Whigs or Tories are
welcome; our dress requirements are Colonial, 1763-1783, the British Period
of Florida, and  include any civilian colonial dress appropriate to the time
period in the colonies, not just Redcoats, Hessians & Provincials.
         Remember I said this event was different? There are plenty of things
you can do on the schedule, or you can skip some if you'd like time to
sightsee, tour the Fort, or just enjoy the event! Our big request is that
you are on line at formation of the Parade Saturday Night. This Torchlit
parade, led by massed fifes & drums through the historic streets is a one of
a kind experience. Crowds numbering about 10,000 watch the parade, while
hundreds and hundreds of others follow behind.
         Don't bring Black Powder, as some of our program take place on NPS
or City property- we'll issue you cartridges for any firings we do, and for
the Volley followng the Parade...  , Do bring your Firelock though for the
Volleys.
         See a complete schedule at
http://www.britishnightwatch.org/Participant.htm
         The event officially starts Friday afternoon, but if you can't make
it then, again no problem- plenty are there early Friday for the scenario,
which has been a bit of fun these past couple of years.  Sunday is a travel
day, with only a Church service on the schedule, so you can break down when
you wish, or use the time to visit the area and the beaches.

For 2009, the biggest changes are a concert Friday Night at 8:00, with
national recording artists Father, Son, and Friends; The Garden Party  has
dropped it's Tea, to become a more participatory Dance  (Music by POOKA) ;
The Friday Afternoon Scenario continues this year with "Army or Navy?-
Desertion in the 18th Century" in camp at 4:00 pm, and we continue to
improve the Participation in the Parade.

This years Commemorative Coin is the 1787 Six Pence, and is given at Pay
Call in the Fort Program Saturday Afternoon. See the website for details on
the Commemorative Coins.

The website also has all the latest information on Hotel Discounts for
participants, safety guidelines, previous newsletters, and a host of
information for the participant and the visitor.
www.britishnightwatch.org
Even more updates to the website will occur over the weekend, so check back!

We still need a few volunteers to take a 1 hour post at the Ambassador's
Table, open times are between Noon and 4 p.m. on Saturday. The job is easy,
interfacing with the public, fielding questions such as "where are the
bathrooms?" and passing out schedules. You won't be far from experienced
help, so have no fear!  Contact Anthea Manny at ascfpinc@... to help
with this project.

I was thinking of "Compleat Instructions for the Fife" by Longman & Broderip. 
The tune I was thinking of is also in a similarly titled fife book by J.
Goulding.  In these two, and Ashworth as well this tune is in G.

I wonder however if you're thinking of a fife melody in Ashworth written in the
key of D he calls "The Scotch Repeat."  So far, I haven't seen this melody
anywhere but Ashworth.  Have you asked Sue Cifaldi?  She may know.

Jim Krause

Jim do you mean it is found in the Longman & Broderip manuscript? Is that the
one also called the young drummer's assistant?

I apologize if I have asked this before but I am still trying to find the
origins of the Scotch Repeat and if it was ever part of the British duty?

Thanks in advance

Looking for a couple drummers and fifers that live within a driveable distance
from Frederick, MD who may be able to do an F&I ceremony to re-dedicate the
Braddock Monument on Oct. 11th.

The British Night Watch
Friday December 4th to Sunday, December 6th 2009
St. Augustine, Florida


Registration is Now Open!  For 2009, we've done away with Unit

accurate, and easiest for the reenactor as well! The website
http://www.britishnightwatch.org has the latest in event information, and
will be updated weekly from now until December 4th.   We ask that each
person, 16 or older attending the event, please Register at
http://britishnightwatch.org/Participant.htm   Unit Commanders and
Adjutants, please forward this email to your members, to allow them the
chance to register for this event. If you have received this email as a
forward, contact me here <mailto:jt@...> to add (or remove)  you on the
master email list.

Event Photos from 2008 are located at
http://www.britishnightwatch.org/2008_gallery.htm, the entire website has
had an overhaul, the schedule has been posted, and we have some great deals
on Hotel rooms for the event.

As of today, the Roadway Inn, 2800 N Ponce De Leon Blvd , Saint Augustine,
FL, US, 32084 | Phone: (904) 829-6581, has offered rooms for $51.67, TAX
INCLUDED. Mention that you are reserving for the British Night Watch. More
Hotel deals are being confirmed, and will be posted on the website when
available.

We listen to your opinions. Remember to give us feedback after the event, to
continuously improve!

national recording artists Father, Son, and Friends; The Garden Party  has

Please visit the website <http://www.britishnightwatch.org/>  and let us
know if you see errors, confusion, multi-colored flying elephants, or
similar.

Call for Volunteers!  We've decided to recruit a Friends group, to work in a
variety of aspects for the British Night Watch. The group would be comprised
of volunteers, working with a coordinator, and perform such duties as
fundraising, logistics, organization, event support, research &
documentation, and such related. Would you be interested? Duties could
consume as little as an hour a month, or half of your life, like some of us.
Contact me at jt@... if this opportunity would interest you.

Hi Ron,

This is Allen Workman. Our family met & played with you and Sue at Drummer’s Call the year before last.
I’m sorry we didn’t get to play this year. Please tell Sue “Hi” for us. I’d be interested in seeing some picture
of your drum, if it is still available. Was it the one you played at Williamsburg that year? We still have those
blue drums that were made from modern toms but haven’t saved for Coopermans, yet. We aren’t exactly
starters but could use a little better drum. Do you think your drum might fit the bill? Maybe we’ll get to do
Drummer’s Call next year and we hope to see you soon.

Allen & Family
Katy, Kaleigh & Adrian
 
 

Dear List,
 
Although I hate to place items for sale here, I thought this item would be appropriate before it goes to EBay.
 
I have a drum I purchased from Ray Hauly back in 2000 as a "starter drum" for reenacting.  No-name brand, probably Pakistani.  It originally had a large eagle painted on the front and had a terrible sounding calfskin head w/o muffler.  I think I paid over $300 for it at the time, then spent another $200 at Cooprmans to replace the heads, snares, and rope, and stripped off the paint and refinished it.  
 
Several Cooperman drum purchases later and a switch to the fife, and this drum is now serving as a decoration in my living room.  Thought it might be of interest to someone who has kids reenacting who are not sure if they want to spend money on a Copperman yet.
 
Asking $200 plus shipping.  Pictures available on request.
 
Thanks,
 
Ron Glidden

The two 1740-50's manuals that I have don't list them. All they list is several different versions of troop and doublings. I am very new to this so if you can shed some light for me I'd appreciate this. Are these online someplace? Is the new BAR book that came out that says it has these calls appropriate for F&I era? Inquiring minds want to know.

what singlings and doublings were used for other than being associated with the
Troop.? The Troop's purpose was to assemble the men and inspect.? Troop or
Assembly may have been another singling of the troop because most singlings are
in 3/8 time; while doublings are in 2/4 time.

musicians calls and rev. and taptoo. What I am looking for is meal calls,
officer calls, fatigue calls, etc... The two 1740-50's manuals that I have don't
list them. All they list is several different versions of troop and doublings. I
am very new to this so if you can shed some light for me I'd appreciate this.
Are these online someplace? Is the new BAR book that came out that says it has
these calls appropriate for F&I era? Inquiring minds want to know.

Erik,

What camp should I look for you in?  Will you be set up in the barracks or in
"Tent city"

Thanks,

Brad

Does anyone know the origins of the Scotch Repeat?

Will any musicians be at the BAR event at Fort Frederick, MD later this month? 
I plan to go as a spectator as I don't do Rev War but I would like to meet
anyone from this yahoo group that will be in attendance.

Thanks,
