Excellent point. As this band is a Civil War reenactor band, they are not playing our national anthem, as that was not adopted until much later, but rather the British drinking song you have named. The 1st Wisconsin, thus, treats the song as a patriotic air, which it had become, but not as the national anthem.

Isn't that the Anacreontic Song rather than the Star Spangled Banner?
