It w as plain at
th a t d a te that th e w ar w as to be a
long and costly one.
T h e m usicians w ere regularly e n list­
ed soldiers, who could not be forced
to tak e up arm s and fight unless they
chose. T h e only way to abolish the
bands was to m u ster them out ot
se rv ic e
But m usic was not totally
banished from tb e arm y cam ps. Bri
gnde bands w ere formed, and som e
reg im en ts or th eir officers or patrons
at home [»aid tb e exp enses and retain

T h e bugle and th e fife and drum are

W ith th e arm y stru n g out for miles,
