A wonderful and very informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, the pictures really added a lot, but the voiceovers brought the episode to life even more! I was a part of the filming and yet I still managed to learn something from the completed episode! I loved how you showed the image of the 114th PA band in their Zouave uniforms (which I have seen before) and then cut to a shot of some Zouave stretcher bearers near an ambulance (which I don’t believe I had seen before). That was very effective!!
Those boys should never go thirsty.
As a current Army band trumpet player, I LOOOOOOVE this video! I've wanted to get a replica Civil War musician uniform for a long time!

John, who we interview, is an active NG bandsman in OH!
Intonation certainly a challenge but great effort to hold it together!

Playing brass outside in the late fall is always that way in my experience. I marched four years in the Michigan state marching band and we have the same issues in November. This episode was shot 2 December in Michigan. Will

@@CivilWarDigitalDigest Thankfully here in Melbourne AUS, we don't have your extreme Winter temperatures! I was referring more to your collective ability to play those old instrument in tune with each other. Speaking of which, are they in "high" pitch (given that British brass bands didn't drop to A=440 until the 1960's)?
Major General James G. Blunt's Brigade Band was wiped out to a man on 6 October, 1863, at Baxter Springs, Cherokee Nation, by Quantrill's guerillas, the only combat loss of a brass band in the Civil War.

The band leader was Henry Pellage, of Madison, Wisconsin, and the rest of the band were members of the 3rd Wisconsin Cavalry. Also killed with them was an artist/correspondent named O'Neal, of "Frank Leslie's Illustrated," said to be the only correspondent killed in action during the war.

I didn’t see any referenced as such in the LOC data.
What are the 'Coffee Grinders' referred to at the start of the video?
