Friday, May 15: A great day!

A.M.

Alexei Kraytman, Paul Kraytman, Eric Niehaus and Rob Lee visited two schools: The Hosmer School in Watertown and the Burbank School in Belmont.

In Watertown, our 4th year visiting, we met with 80 students and instructed them in marching and drilling and entertained many excellent questions. Thanks to Susan Monfette for hosting.

We stopped for coffee at the Town Diner and met Light Infantry Alum RODNEY FERNALD ca 1973...he sends his best.

P.M.

The Burbank School Colonial Day started with food...really good food... Beef Stew, Chicken Pie, Roasted vegetables, snickerdoodles and cider. A photo of the 10th was prominently displayed on the Colonial History timeline. We met with 6 groups of about dozen kids throughout the afternoon, touching on topics from taxes to wigs, marching outdoors. This is a really fantastic Colonial Day.

Thanks to Lisa O'Sullivan for having us.

Members of the Tenth Regiment routinely make visits to schools to provide an interactive program explaining the British soldier's point of view. The Regiment marches in Parades and participates in other activies associated with local celebrations. We also have appeared in various documentary films and even added a little color to a few weddings.

With Mike Rowe

In 2012, the Tenth Regiment helped Mike Rowe film "How Booze Built America" for the Discovery Channel.

If interested, simply contact us to make arrangements. Generally, for school visits, we need at least a one month advance notice. For Parades, Municipal Celebrations and other appearances, we need to know by February to get your event on our schedule. Please contact our Adjutant for more information. Even if you still are planning your event and it is after February, please contact Major Graves to check our availability.

What does it cost? School visits are part of our educational mission and therefore are free, although we always are willing to accept donations to cover the costs of these programs. For Parades, we do charge a fee, but for this, you get the entire Regiment, Grenadiers, Battalion, Light Infantry, Music, our Colours, and our Corps of Civilian Volunteers. Fees for other events may be negotiated depending upon the size and scope of your event.
