Uniforms of the time varied - as indeed they do now. The British wore white green, red, blue - depending on the Unit and situation. Same for every army. Also, Rebels (forgive my term - I'm a British 'loyalist' LOL) wore a range of colours because of logistical and organisational limitations.
These are not British uniforms. The Continental Army wore Blue , the Musicians wore red to differentiate them in Battle, not to shoot at the Musicians.
2nd pad drummer you are right you can hear them from about a mile away, that was the purpose to motivate the militia, and scare the crap out of you ever was preparing to fight them, and i think they wear them uniforms becasue this was before the revolotuionary war time period thats when it all changed
i was wondering about the uniforms as well, royal americans? 1757 maybe? add better buttons, and you could take some pot shots at the 60th light foot good video tho
why did williamsburg change their drums to british style? why did they use mics. when the fife and drums are loud enough to be heard from atleast a half mile away, and WHY DID THEY MAKE LA REGOUISANCE SOUND ALMOST LIKE A FIFE SOLO?????
