- The Federal City Brass Band performs at the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps 50th Anniversary Tattoo held at Fort Myer June 19, 2010. The Band was honored to be part of the celebration of TOG Fife and Drum's service to our nation over the past five decades.

Notice the one saxhorn with backward facing bell. Those were intended to direct sound toward troops marching behind the band.
I would pay serious money to get to Drum Major for this unit just once, what an honor that would be!
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)
One of my ancestors was a Bugler during the Civil War, I have his bugle. I hope to get 'music' that he played in the Union Army.
Alfonzo Bicuspid The first Buglers used were at Gettysburg..All three of them were from the 10th Royal Grenadiers of Canada,,which in 1934 became the Royal Regiment of Canada. I know this..because I did the history.

please share the history of this with me. Please post your information on out Facebook page Taps Bugler
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.
I was very moved to think about the Civil War. Thank you.
Great to hear living history. Thank you.
Glad to see the music of the Civil War "Live Again". Thank you.
How cool to watch this and see so many familiar faces.
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!
Keep supporting the CSA against the Yankee Slave Traders who invaded Dixie for REVENUE TAX MONEY!
Beautiful ! I loved this!!!
Battle Cry of Freedom! aka Rally Round the Flag was the opening number followed by a quick step. Love it!. I'm sure they play Bonnie Blue Flag and Marching through Georgia too.

After 2.0 update
dont they polish their instruments in the states ? could do with a bit of brasso
+balista This are antique instruments all dating from the 19th century.
Its raw brass, it's not lacquered to be shiny.
raw brass makes for a better darker sound
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.
NNNNNICE. IS that a "Bear Skin" Shako?
please help an austrian brass-fan! what is the name of the tune beginning at 2.58?

The 3rd US Infantry Quickstep by Yeager
I really enjoy the band but man do 18th century snares sound like hitting a plastic bag.
A 16" rope tension snare drum with calfskin heads wont sound like a modern PEARL or Yamaha high tension 14" snare with kevlar heads.
Not quite like the table top knock of todays so called, snares ?
19th century
And they're all wearing red sashes......... That was reserved for N.C.O. only !!!!!!
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!
WAYYYY to long of an intro...........
wow. that was a fascist solute. get your hand turned in boy. that is extremely disrespectful to solute like that. even if they did that back then it is just not right
It'd be wrong if he didn't solute like such, its HISTORICALLY ACCURATE.
Actually, that is the correct hand salute for Civil War era.
oliver robinson salute*, a fascist salute is with the arm held out a la romans and nazis, and if you're one to get butt hurt over a historically accurate salute I pity your bloodline.
oliver robinson lmao how is it fascist
This is comment is just plain dumb.The past doesn't give a damn about your opinion of their salutes.You have a one track mind ,fix it.
