The thundering of drums and the shrill of fifes will be prominent sounds locally during the weekend of September 19 and 20 and Monday, September 21 as the Towpath Volunteers Fife and Drum Corps hosts the 2015 World Fife and Drum Friendship Festival in Macedon and Palmyra. Towpath member Debbie Willson says the one-time event will be world class as corps from Italy, France, Belgium and the USA will be participating. “We wanted to share our country with them,” she says and explains the Towpath Volunteers were invited in 2011 to go to France and perform with corps located there. “On a whim we went,” Willson remembers, and since that time members of the Towpath Volunteers have returned again and again. “We have made friends in France, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland,” Willson says. “In Italy, we play at a carnival that dates back to Medieval times. The people are so generous, friendly and warm. We want to
share our music, culture and history with them like they did with us.” All events are free and open to the public. On Saturday, September 19, all participating groups will be playing throughout the day at various locations during Canal Town Days in Palmyra. Opening Ceremonies are set for 10 a.m. The Canal Town Days parade is at 4 p.m. on September 19. On Sunday, September 20, the corps will march in the “Take Pride in America” parade at noon on Main Street in Macedon. At 4 p.m. on Sunday, a concert is planned at Long Acres Farm on Eddy Road in Macedon. Willson says to bring your own seating for the event. The concert gives the groups an opportunity to play together, Willson says. The concert includes a special musical selection. “We will play one song from each country in a medley,” she says. “We want people to come out and see what we do. This is going to be the biggest thing to hit Macedon in a long time.” The Festival continues Monday, September 21 with a concert at 11 a.m. at Old Fort
Niagara in Youngstown, Willson says. The concert is free, but there is admission to the Fort. Towpath Volunteers Fife and Drum Corps have been bringing “Our American Heritage” to life since 1978, Willson says. The group marches in 30-50 parades each year and has performed for U.S. Presidents, marched in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Gasparilla parade in Florida, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Savannah, Georgia and three times at Disney World. In addition to wearing colonial-style uniforms, the group utilizes handmade wooden fifes and rope tension deep snare and bass drums like those used by the country’s founding fathers. On Friday, September 18, the corps will visit local schools and the VA hospital in Canandaigua.
Hilton Cadets trounce Gates Chili in boys soccer by Warren Kozireski Using a ball-control, almost surgical offensive attack, Hilton netted seven first half goals and 11 overall in defeating an overmatched Gates Chili Spartans boys soccer team 11-0. Michael Provost used his left foot to convert a pass from Nickolas Simone just 8:03 into the contest to open the offensive onslaught. Brett Healey headed in a cross off the foot of Evan Pirnie at 17:11 before Jeffrey Hibbard converted twice over a 2:28 span. The first came after a long pass from 40 yards out from Provost and the second
converting a give-and-go in the box with Matthew DeFeo. DeFeo made it 5-0 in the 35th minute racing down the left wing and cutting to the middle before putting the ball inside the left post. Simone gathered up a loose ball around midfield and dribbled in before finding the net in the 37th minute. Jesse DePrez finished off the first half scoring by heading in a cross from the right wing by Jacob Vinch at 38:00. Provost opened the second half with a goal off a failed clearing attempt in the 43rd minute for his second goal and third point of the contest. Meikal Lambov made it 9-0

Eagles ace Hawks in girls volleyball by Warren Kozireski Two seasons removed from their last girls volleyball league title, Kendall used a combined 30+ service aces to register their second league win against zero losses with a hard-fought 25-23, 19-25, 25-23, 26-24 victory over visiting Holley. The first game was tied on six separate occasions including at 19-19 before Holley scored four straight points -- two on aces by Paige Lampo to lead 23-19. But the Eagles took advantage of six straight missed digs to pull out the win. The Hawks scored the final six points of game two after it was tied 19-19 including a kill by junior Helena McLean and an ace served by Lampo. In game three, Kendall led by as many as seven points before allowing the lead to shrink to 23-22 on an ace by McLean.
But Alexis Payton slammed a kill down the right sideline to help the Eagles to a 25-22 win. Neither team could generate much offense in the fourth game scoring points mostly on their opponents mistakes, but Holley led 24-23 before Kendall scored the final three points -- one on Madison Rath’s ace -- to seal the win. Holley captain Chelsea Norman led the Hawks with four aces and two kills while Jennah McMillan and McLean combined for seven more aces. Kendall senior setter Sarah Pearson led with five kills, and nine assists and added nine aces. Junior Emily Mattle led all players with 11 aces and Chelsea Wright paced the Eagles defense with six digs while also contributing eight aces and a pair of kills.
