In an era where military tactics focused on long lines of infantry military bands helped animate the troops, also the drums helped with staying in step on the march
I am in the New York Young Colonials and I am a snare drummer. I see that it says quick-step! We do the regular Old 1812 so I did the regular one on the drum-pad while this was playing! You guys sound great!
Some drummers, definitely buglers, probably not many fifers, did play in battle. It was how orders were conveyed. Many units had full bands, however; it was these "extraneous" musicians who lugged the (ridiculously few) stretchers. Also, many 12 year old drummer boys were killed in action; I have a book about it somewhere. I believe one boy even won a medal for carrying his drum away from Bull Run while soldiers were throwing away their rifles. (In reference to below comment)
Most field musicians did not perform music during actual combat. When the battle began they found themselves assisting the medical staff as stretcher bearers.
You know what is very odd? At least I think it's odd; No one has taken it upon themselves to do an instructional video on RUclips on how to play the Revolutionary or Civil War 6 hole fife up through a simple tune or two. I mean there are instructional videos for almost any kind of instrument including folk instruments, such as the Irish flute and bagpipes even the Recorder. Plus there's a lot of people on RUclips showing off their individual talents with those instruments as well as may be throwing in a little ad hoc instruction. But there's really little to nothing, mostly nothing, for any kind of fife much less that particular kind. And some fife and drum corps is look kind of small. It seems to me that that would be a good recruiting tool to have some videos out there like that. Again, kind of weird that nobody has done that.
@@mikesmnell414 Well my OP is 4 years old and in that first year I was able to muscle through a few simple, slow tunes by watching flute videos for instruction on forming an embouchure along with some modified bagpipe chanter fingering. None of which really puts me in any position to teach others. But somewhere in that year I lost interest anyway and so now I just have a nice blackwood fife that I inspect and maintain about twice a year to keep it in good condition just for the heck of it.
can you tell me what kind of fifes these guys are using? im a noob looking to get a fife to record some tracks for a civil war game. i need a fife that can produce this sound. can anyone lead me in the right direction to quality affordable fifes?
The stereotypical "little drummer boy" was mostly a Northern thing and simply not true in the majority of Field Musicians. In North Carolina, which is the state we portray, an examination of the rosters of all state regiments found only 1 musician being under the age of 18 and the only reason he was allowed to serve is because his father was the Drum Major for that particular regiment. All other musicians were of regular military age. Some, like the Moravians of Salem, NC (present day Winston-Salem) served as musicians because their faith did not allow them to take up arms but they still wished to contribute to the war efforts and they were already talented musicians (the Moravians are still well-known to this day for their music).
yes they know that no need to point it out the 21st was the re enactment date they always use the re enactment date as the anniversary- a confederate reenactor in north carolina

Nice seeing this - political correctness has done away with all our reenactments. I loved the Tannehill show every July. Lots of band music, vendors, seeing camp life, the battle with men, guns, horses and cannons. It was hot, damned hot unless you got lucky with rain. People including reenactors passed out now and then. But then Obama did away with all this. Have not been back to that park since. I hate seeing our history, good and bad, swept away. Todays kids know nothing about our country and how it works.
I had a feeling that would be the case, just making sure, I'm a Civil War Reenactor/semi-history nut, I get a little anal about certain things I apologize sincerely
Please don't start a modern-day political fight here on our youtube channel. . . enough of that crap elsewhere. We are simply musicians performing historical music at living history events. They are "commemorations" not "celebrations."
CarolinaFifesDrums again I wasn’t trying to start a fight. I was actually commiserating on how there has to be a political fight anytime people talk about the civil war these days. I prefer the days when I was a kid when I good enjoy watching Gettysburg and playing with my confederate and union toys in peace. Believing that we should respect both sides. Now it’s just slavery this. Confederates racist that.
No worries, understood. Thank you for checking out our music. Our albums are available for digital download now on all music sites such as iTunes, search for Carolina Fifes & Drums.

Drums also helped commanders communicate orders in the loud expanse of a battlefield.
Keep history alive, not in museums...!
Badass rendition, my favorite.
I am Australian and I enjoyed Carolina fifes and drums performance 1812 very much,congrats. Walter Lucas.

You guys sound great!
Sound 100% authentic, great job!!!
Sends shivers down my spine!
Jerry Fielding has the best arrangement (from Outlaw Josey Wales)
I was going to post just the same... I miss the second part of the tune, I don´t know if it is original or just Fielding's brainchild.
@Rhys Lucian this is a scam i saw this on other videos
@@DavidMartinez-fq9eh (yes I know I'm 3 years late) The second part of that tune isn't old 1812, it's another piece called "Liverpool Hornpipe"
Это прекрасно! Я рад видеть и слышать вас мои дорогие братья из Южной Каролины! Через океан я сердцем с вами
Made by Greg Starbuck. He is the main kepi vendor for the 26th NC.
Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh! I love this march so march! Thank you lot so much!
I first heard this March in the movie "The Outlaw Josey Wales". I always think of that movie when I hear it now.
Thzis is the best version ive heard here on youtube 👍 great job guys!
*This
You can listen to this tune in the open credits of " The outlaw Josey Wales", finally I find the name of this song.
That's was impressive I like history and the civil war era
Отличное исполнение!

Shawn Meade is right, we play Cooperman traditional Bb fifes.
very good, the second fife makes a nice harmony to the main melody
Goosebumps
Most field musicians did not perform music during actual combat. When the battle began they found themselves assisting the medical staff as stretcher bearers.
Sounds great.
You can order them on line at Fall Creek Sutterly.
Their website is broken and I can't buy anything from them. Is there anywhere else I could buy a good quality reproduction uniform?
Never mind, it's just my browser
Long live the South!
My how quickly things have degraded in 10 years!
Brilliant UNISON !!!😊Close your eyes & THATS EXACTLY 1812 again Or The Greys Moving into BATTLE FORMATION 😕👍g
From the out law Jose Wales movie!
"Dying aint much of a living boy"
I heard this song before but i never what it was
Even as a non American, this tune is appealing.
We know that. . . the 21st was the date of the reenactment event. Look a little closer and you will see 2011.
Peeler fifes are also really good. Make sure the tuning is Bb.
Cool video!
How good was that? Delightful.
Very nice!
Ok thank you

try searching Cooperman fife and drums

wow
Флейты и барабаны! Очень воинственно!
Gone to Texas!
Ok thanks@MrJimc2
Mr.Rotan , I know this might be odd ,but where did you get your kepi?
Drummer boys were 12 years old or 10 and had a 95% death rate in battle of them getting killed

@@CarolinaFifesDrums k thanks for correcting me
Its a mod for Mount and blade warband called North and South. Pretty fun. Check out DriestBiscuit here on youtube. Im part of his regiment.
Nice! ;)
😊
Although it's rebels playing it, I think of the loyal, proud, and true Army of the Potomac!!!!
We were loyal too, loyal to our great state of Virginia
Nah... look it up it was first an american revolution tune, then 1812, then civil war.
It was a british tune
My third great grandfather fought with north caroline during the war.
Glory (1989) brought me here, not The Outlaw Josey Wales
Hunter of Beasts
Gettysburg brought me here (:
Cool
Hunter of Beasts you do know this is from out law Josey. Wales right!?
Can I use this clip as audio for a series of shorts for Vicksburg National Military Park, credited to your group?
This is a Union piece. Long live the Union!
Deo Vindice! SIc Semper Tyrannis!
It's a british song
Oh and the date of Secession was May 20, NOT the 21st.
yes they know that no need to point it out the 21st was the re enactment date they always use the re enactment date as the anniversary- a confederate reenactor in north carolina

I guess liberals will ask why we have to celebrate the anniversary of north carolina’s secession
Please don't start a modern-day political fight here on our youtube channel. . . enough of that crap elsewhere. We are simply musicians performing historical music at living history events. They are "commemorations" not "celebrations."
CarolinaFifesDrums I am not. I was simply being sarcastic. I actually feel quite offended by the modern liberals when they bash the civil war
CarolinaFifesDrums again I wasn’t trying to start a fight. I was actually commiserating on how there has to be a political fight anytime people talk about the civil war these days.

I still don't understand why they played music in the war back then just to get shot?
it motivates the men... music is powerful.
'native' tribes used music/song before battle to get the blood pumping.
For two reasons;
1. As cannonfodders, more popularly before the Geneva Convention as it outlawed killing musicians
2. To keep good morale.
No killing musicians
