I have worked with the old Guard as i am a Member of the British 42nd Royal Highland Regiment company of Grenadiers. 1) they ARE active duty military personnel. like any other of the color guards except they portray a specific time frame..they are not children. 2) they are in period correct Colonial musicians uniforms.

@lethadear They wore the opposite color so they did not get shot by the British. That was the standard musician's uniform.
