Hamlin: When Johnny Comes Marching Home into Battle Hymn

[seamuspowers]

this song I hear was from the 24 th MA? they sang this when marching into battle. each state had its own song.

[weepingboy]

Fredricksburg. Vicksburg. Gettysburg. Shilo....the men who marched to those battles probably heard this song...it's awesome.

[brandini555]

civil war reenacting is like video games come alive, except theres no noobs running out by themselves

[BtoZproductions]

im part of a school reenactment group and we have the same snare drum but it doesnt make the snare soud can you help me fix that

[songspiritUSA]

Real drums YEAH

[Froschman80]

Well done :) Here in Europe we have mostly medieval reenactment. Last year however we had an reenactement of Napoleons congress in Erfurt with troops, fifes and drums. Sounded like the ones in this civil war reenactment.

I wish you good times and many possibilities to reenact in the US:

[civilwarkid2012]

Cool. I was at Hamlin in 2007.

[bullyboy1863]

any chance u guys could play the song "in the bathroom"? lol just kiddin Ken. God i miss the sound of fifes and drums. Jesus i wish it was may already.

[defaultuser11433]

the percussion's on this song are awesome

[mouselaser]

I think that the drums are too loud. But other than that its a great song.

[Helismoke]

As a former Infantry and later Cavalry Officer I can say that the drums are supposed to be too loud. Remember that when troops march, the drums keep cadence so all troops march to the same beat, "Left, Right, Left Right", all that stuff. That's why the marching songs when no drums are present on the march.

[Bugabear88]

Ah I see.

[excelsiorbrigade]

football fightsong?

[HaHaStuPadasso]

HAHA, yes! Type in "Liverpool Torres Song" in YouTube and you will awestruck! 50,000 people singing this!

[ArcangelZero7]

It could be a football song, but before that it was a song from the Civil War, detailing the feelings of so many people who just wanted their boys to come home from the war. Hence the name "Johnny Comes Marching Home" :)

[HaHaStuPadasso]

Yeah, I know that. American fans did this song also...at the World Cup in 2006

[Shogi5]

@excelsiorbrigade

Rather Military Song I would say =)

[Legionary74]

omg look wut u did! i cant stop listening!!!!!

[Briselance]

(to RogueZealot10) I'm not American so, when you speak about the Appomatox court house, which case or historical event do you refer to ? (Was the sentence correctly written ?)

[Briselance]

The flute player (the tallest of the two)might not be the best flute player, but despite that, it is still a good general performance. The music they start to play at the 44th second, is it the same tune as the song sung by the parachutists of the Easy company, in Band of Brothers, when they enter Austria on their trucks ?

[anaheimfan9]

that is the grapes of wrath it was the unions battle song

[excelsiorbrigade]

what makes the taller bloke not as good as the bearded fellow? (he isn't as good ;-) , but just asking what in the video gives it away)

[ArmyInJune08]

It's actually the Battle Hymm of the Republic, Blood on the Risers is sung to the same tune though, Blood on the Risers was sung in Band of Brothers

[anaheimfan9]

thanks man forget about that

[Assassinus2]

@Briselance The second tune the corps plays is "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," but, yes, the Airborne adapted it for their own nefarious purposes.

(Sorry, I just like the word "nefarious.")

[innit27]

Battle Hymn There is a bonny fitba team at Easter Rd they play. I go along to cheer them every other Saturday In colours green and white the finest in the land today. The Hibs go marching on. (Chorus) Glory, Glory to the Hibees. Glory, Glory to the Hibees. Glory, Glory to the Hibees. We are the Hibee Boys. Against the continentals we have always stood the test. Against the famous English clubs we're better than the rest. We've beat the champs of Europe & we are by far the best.

[ThereIsNoConspiracy]

Marching to this music and many other Civil War battle music while going down the streets of Gettysburg in a long line of Blue and Gray uniforms on Veteran's Day is something to expirence. I re-enact the Civil War and proud to do my part is saving history.
