Our musical selections were composed before 1865 & arranged for a military brass band. They include marches, waltzes, schottishes, and concert music. Our musical arrangements are taken from 19th century sources. There are some surviving band books of the time, both Northern and Southern, and we do use copies of these. We still work with the difficulty of interpreting the original music, which is typically lacking in even basic instructions about dynamics, pauses, or even tempo. Music was not usually taught in schools, so trained musicians were scarce. Army regulations did state that at least one musician should be able to read music! Although high quality bands were rare, we strive to follow in their footsteps.
