Civil War Bands
Civil War Bands
When the American Civil War began in 1861 there were few full time military bands in existence. There was the United States Marine Band, some army regimental bands and the United States Military Academy band at West Point. There were however numerous state and militia bands. These bands whom we will refer to as reserve units were of a very high quality. The reserve military bands had numerous patrons who donated funds to enable the bands to hire musicians and leaders. In many of the larger centers there were a number of highly trained and experienced reservists who manned these bands. The leaders in many instances were very high profile military bandmasters. The great Patrick S Gilmore was the leader of the 24th Massachusetts Infantry band. The American Brass band of Providence Rhode Island attached to the First Rhode Island Infantry was led by Joseph Green.
