Spirit of '76

"The Spirit of '76" is the backdrop and reason for this re-creational film. A trio of Revolutionary soldiers in a fife and drum corps.march onto a stage with a painted backdrop of a battlefield and stage props of dirt, stones, and a broken wagon wheel..As in the painting, the center drummer is a tall, older, white-haired man in a white shirt and dark vest. On his left, the other drummer is a young boy dressed in a uniform with a tricorner hat and boots to the knee. On the right marches a dark-haired fife player with a bandaged head, dressed in an unbuttoned uniform. The three march in place and play a tune as smoke from the battlefield drifts behind them. The soldiers, turn around and, march towards the backdrop, and then off stage. A flash of smoke simulates canon fire, after which the drummers and fife player return, still playing. As they perform, a man in a uniform and tricorner hat enters behind them, waving a large American flag. The corps continues to march in place and play as the flag waves.
