Battle of Guilford Courthouse Continentals March

Reenactment of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse originally fought on March 15, 1781.

The battle took place near Guilford Courthouse. Then a small farming community, in 1808 it became the city of Greensboro, North Carolina, named for Major General Nathaniel Greene of the American army.

UPDATE:

The video ends abruptly because some of the marchers were ordered to turn to their right, which is where I was standing.

Thanks to Drummer7rf, I have the following information to add:

The Continental Fifes & Drums (they wore the opposite colors of the line regiment to make it easer on the officer to identify them on the field) are in the front playing the "Duke of York's March" I do not recognize the next regiment. The next one is the New Jersey Light Infantry, and then the video is over.
