5th Michigan Regiment Band-EVENT CANCELLED

Music of the Civil War

108 years, from 1865–1973, Michigan’s Civil War era regimental band was just a memory. Then as a State of Michigan Bicentennial project, the original 5th Michigan Infantry Band was recreated in the form of the 5th Michigan Regiment Band. The band plays on antique and replica Civil War Instruments. Their repertoire of 1860’s music includes marches, polkas, schottisches, waltzes and songs arranged for the group by Lieutenant Colonel Guy Smith, Conductor.
