@VassilliHD That is huge! I hope you have a better announcer than the one I attended and made the YouTube of. I cut as much of his comments as possible and even removed the audio in favor of the music I added. He had a good voice and presentation but his comments were too casual. I thought they should have been more sincere and solemn.

@jandbrare I promise that I did not take it for an Insult. I know for a fact that the Blue & Gray event (The One I am attending) Currently has over 3000 reenactors registered. And it is still 2 months away. I cannot say for sure how many the A.O.T. event has, but it will surely be up there. I just wish the leadership of the two groups could find a way to work together and make it a truly memorable event. But so far, both groups are set on one way.

@VassilliHD Didn't mean to insult. You never know when replying to a comment how informed is the commentor.  I'll bet those will be big events in Tennessee? The one is Florida was small, as you can tell from my video.

@jandbrare Sir, I know this. And I was referring to the fact that for the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh, there will be 2 reenactments, on the same days, portraying the exact same battles, no more than 5 miles apart. This event here was hosted in Florida. I am refering to the 2 other events hosted in Tennesse.

@VassilliHD The Civil War battle lasted 2 days, and this video is a recording of the reenactment of Day 2.
