Does Anyone know fife fingerings? I am a high school percussionist, and I am trying to help my band director get some fife and drum pieces accomplished, we have the fifes, but we made one little oversight, nobody near us knows the fingerings!If you or anyone you know can help, please e-mail me at Lambertclay@coastalnet.com Thanks!
