[Trombone-l] Civil War Bands

[Harry Wootan]

Which side are you on? :-) 

The Olde Towne Brass in Huntsville AL is a very good band. Here's their
website:

  http://www.otbrass.com/

They play original Civil War music on original over-the-shoulder horns. When
they play they typically provide info about the songs, the composers, and
their horns. Lots of interesting stuff.

You might even be interested in their website just to see their collection
of horns.

Hi All,

I'm exploring getting a Civil War renactment band to share a concert with a
local orchestra.  I realize there are almost never trombones in these
groups, just the over-the-shoulder saxhorns, but who are the best -
preferrably pro - groups that people know of.

Thanks in advance for your help - oh, and keep those section trombone
postings coming!
