    Notice the one saxhorn with backward facing bell. Those were intended to direct sound toward troops marching behind the band.

    The soprano saxhorns/cornet things sound much mellower than modern trumpets. It's a nice sound.

    Cornets are generally mellower than trumpets due to a conical bore (the bore gets larger throughout the length of the horn) instead of cylindrical (the bore stays the same til near the bell). Cornets are still in use today, just more commonly by Commonwealth/British brass bands and for older music music (as well as specific newer pieces calling for them)

    Very, very good! It's not nearly as easy as those guys make it look! I've never heard this band, but in 30 years as a Confederate infantry reenactor, I've heard band like this one playing behind a rifle regiment working for its wages. The effect of such music counterpointing the roar of a thousand rifles simply cannot be described. Well done, Yanks!

    It's outlined in the history of the Royal Regiment of Canada... And was covered in the movie..Gettysburg.. On June 2, 2012 I brought the Band of the Royal Regiment of Canada and the Pipes & Drums of the 48th highlanders of Canada--to the University of Mount St. Mary's--Emmitsburg,Md. We presented a 5 point 4 day program which included a formal Remembrance and Wreath laying ceremony at Soldiers National Cemetery --Gettysburg, PA If you'd like a copy of everything..contact me at demeyers55@yahoo.com For our efforts.. myself.. Band Drum Major, Pipe Major and the Massed Band Captain were awarded the highest medal of the University.. The President's Medal.. Had it been a Degree.. it would equal a Doctorate of Music / history/ community planning, and leadership

    The first song they played was "Rally Around the Flag". It's a classic snare piece that most all members know within their first year of drumming (even before Battle Hymn and Yankee!). I don't really know the other pieces. I know that Rally is all over the internet as a fife piece, so try that out.

    Brasso contains a bit of ammonia which isn't really good for raw brass instruments in general. The more use of brasso on a brass instrument it will eat through the brass. It would be a killer on these delicate civil war era instruments. They were manufactured with thinner brass.

    Military Musician's uniforms were not exactly subject to many official rules or traditions - they did (and often still do) wear extra braid, plumes, fancy hats, or whatever worked for them. Look at what Sousa's Marine Band wore in concert - nothing like an official uniform of the time!
