  • They sound WONDERFUL!! My only problen is that they are not dressed like colonists.

    

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

  • Is this a boy's band as they look so young and small?

  • @ericartwo1 It is an all youth Corps.

  • @ericartwo1 It was common for children 10 and up to serve their nation as musicians.

  • 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.

  • @ndluistro really? they let little kids in the army? go figure! O.o
