1st Brigade Band Concert
Army as the band of the 1st Brigade, 3d Division, 15th Army Corps. They
left their rural Wisconsin homes to participate, under the command of
General William T. Sherman, in the campaigns of Northern Georgia and the
Carolina’s. The “Tradition of Excellence” that these men established,
more than 130 years ago lives on today with the members of the 1st
Brigade Band.
The band MAKES HISTORY LIVE by presenting period brass band music,
performed on antique instruments. Attired in uniforms and gowns, the
Band’s musicians, color guard, and costumed ladies take you back to the
1860’s; to that turbulent era known as the Civil War. A nostalgic
portrayal of the atmosphere of days gone by is generated by a unique
form of showmanship that blends the sights and sounds of the period with
historical anecdotes.
