This music together with the pictures just brings the Civil War era to life to me...

Great a proper cornet sound. Love this band

A salute to you and your wife For the Work your doing on "Preserving the Cemeteries"

I'm a clarinet player since age 12, played in the Marching Southerners at Jax State (AL). This takes me back to my roots.

very nice video civil war always makes me think of this important time and reflect on the sacrifices that both made. so to all the boys blue and grey, thank you for your sacrifices you all made. this war defines this nation, my deepest thanks to them, and the men and women right up to this day thank you all.

Fantastic!

GREAT VIDEO!!! Just love this music and the images of all these bands is fantastic but i am especially fond of the image of the 26th NORTH CAROLINA BAND!!!

Thank you for the wonderful video!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

These guys are really good--they're playing these songs in the fanfare style you'd have heard the troops marching to at dress parade or on campaign.

greetings from finland!

Very nice music....from Italy

Great photos.

Wow, what a great music. Greatings from Germany.

I was born in Finland!

Nice video. Thank you.

And as well as that, it's to damned interesting to forget

Nice music, thx for posting Kreuters German Cuisine, Bacoor, Cavite

1:15 to 2:30 is "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean."

Great Music. Love it! Nancy B. Brewer- author of Carolina Rain

Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star.

Gem of the Ocean.

As "Hail to the Chief" is used to introduced the president of the United States, "Red, White & Blue" is the official introduction tune for the nation's vice president.

I guess this was before they figured out it was easier on those pre-tubas to wrap the bell around your body than to have it extend way out.

the issues the north and south disagreed about had thier roots in slavery, representation, westward expansion, tariffs, etc... So it's true that the war first about saving the union Licoln realized that it would be impossible to keep it together without destroying slavery. It's to simple to say the war was or wasn't about slavery.

It was a clash of two economies moving west.

much better...

Some facts re the American Civil War from Wikipedia "The American Civil War remains the deadliest war in American history, resulting in the deaths of 620,000 soldiers with 400,000 wounded and an undetermined number of civilian casualties. Ten percent of all Northern males 20-45 years of age died, as did 30 percent of all Southern white males aged 18-40." Those numbers are horrific. Those poor soldiers. They are ALL heroes in my mind. Fighting for freedom. God Bless them all.

SanFranciscoBay And some talk of reparations. Reparations were already paid in the blood of many American.

Just think the people in the photos have been dead for over a century, but their pics will live forever.

good vid

The Federal City Brass Band plays on original instruments....

1:15 to 2:30 is Columbia, the gem of the ocean.

Big friends of the Brits, I think you'll find!

@evaunit01e Yes and no. The South tried to use that excuse, but you can tell both sides knew slavery was the key issue of the war.

Doesn't Barney Fife sing the first song while he is dressed up like a cleaning woman in the Mayberry Savings Bank on one episode of The Andy Griffith Show?

My Great Grand Uncle was in one of these bands, we have a picture of him with his sax-horn. He was a Chief Musician in the 32nd Infantry North Carolina. These pictures are really great. I wish I could find more info on his unit. I am a brass playrer and there is so much heritage here its incredible. Any other good websites with info?

1:15 to 2:30 is "Columbia: the Gem of the Ocean."

Red White and Blue AKA Columbia Gem of The Ocean

Do you know which of these 4 songs would be played in todays US Military events where they are playing for Military ceremonies or entertainment? Is Bonnnie Blue Flag and Dixie considered a "not to be played song" because of their history of being connected tothe South? Can you recommend the top 20 most played/best of military songs or suggest how to find them? I'm familiar with the melodies, but I don't know the titles. The Federal Band's music is so simple but sounds so royal.

i wonder if doc Holliday was a supporter of the southern cause while he lived in Georgia

1:15 to 2:30 is Columbia, The Gem Of The Ocean.

Hurrah! Hurrah! For southern rights Hurrah! Hurrah for the Bonnie blue flag that bears single star

...after you my friend. After all, it's shit before the shovel !!!!

you are right the british empire has taken a modern stance, with the same intentions of world domination. however it was the americans who defeated the briths in the war of independence, ---hence the Americans owned the Brits-- E.G - civil war- "the above video"

That was your radio then.

it also fell apart cause of a large number of mistakes of the government(i.e. Aral Sea, Cherynobl, war in Afghanistan)

Im not even gonna ask for "song names" because in the civil war all of the i guess you could call then "governments" had different names for every song, for example a Irish soldier could be playing what most "american" soldiers would know as blah blah blah and the "rebels" would know it as blah blah blah, but the Irish soldier would say that it was nether of the names that the "american and rebel" said and that the song is know as blah blah blah by the Irish,

that would be Dixie my friend

what is the name of the first song? i've had it stuck in my head all day.

REMEBER ALL THE BRAVE MAN THAT DIED ON ALL SIDES!

Dixe ( or dixeland) anthem of the south I recommend looking up dixe the northern version as it was one of the first 'roasts' in history

*After 1863

Cool video - nothin' like a military band! Check out "Gettysburg" by Michael Chain on KZread.

Was the North 1,500,000% better?

Well they hardly did it to free them, that's for certain.

well really it did now it wasnt nessecaraly their fault but their reaction to it was bad. Most people in russia didnt know about the incident until a week or more later, and the ironic part is americans knew about cherynobyl before the people that acctually lived there did. thats another problem the USSR they kept too many secrets and they wouldnt take much criticizm, in Stalins day you could get shot or sent to a gulag for saying you wish you had more food ,a better job, a better house, etc.

licoln did own slaves he had a possible indentiard servant at his house in illinois but yes it is truley sad that people think it was all about slavery and shit on the south for it.

Actually he would not have because Hitler made the same mistake Napoleon did when invading Russia, He did not take into account the Russian Winter which the Russians could have won the war on there own without England sadly because Russia outnumber England nearly 10 to 1 in population and could repel Nazi invaders easier, They had harsher weather than England which the Nazi's were not used to unlike England where they did there Blitzkreig and had to worry about U-boat threats.

if you ever wonder what it means to be american- its simple- "it means america owned the Brits"

Well the fact that Stalin broke pretty much every rule in the Communist Manifesto didn't really help either lol. The truth is, you can't judge Communism on Stalinism because Stalin was not a true Communist...by the way, what does this have to do with Brass Bands of the Civil War?

Some definitely weird looking brass instruments.

Chill out there young sir, if it wasn't for the U.S. of A. you Brits would be the smallest province in the Russian Empire.

Yes, they were fighting for states' rights--the right to own slaves. Not exactly a glorious cause.

Who, Southerners? Well, yes and no

Excuse me, sir, but I am a professor of American History. What is your occupation? Professional Hypocrite?

Are you people insane? Long live the south? The south was horrible... What kind of place do you wish we lived in?
