  • we did this at gettysburg to raise money for our flag. the yankee wanted to play a few northern songs so we let him join us and he helped us raise money for the flag. Dylan is not wearing a hat because he put it on the ground so people would put money in it for the flag.

  • @1rebeljlk Good job. I hope you raised enough money!

  • Wait why are confederates playing the battle cry of freedom. however they played it really well.

  • They've been infiltrated by a Yankee. ;)

  • The third person from the left is a male. He's Dylan Sheffer of the West Augusta Guard. He has long hair and feminine features. I performed with him in 2008 at the Veteran's Day parade in Staunton, Virginia.

  • OH! My apologies to Mr. Sheffer. He is an excellent fifer!

  • @LegallyMoi there was also a Southern version, "Our Dixie for ever she is never at a loss, down with the eagle and up with the cross" ( the cross of St. Andrew) many songs had Southern versions.

  • you guys did a great job, make no mistake! but on the high notes, someone is outrageously sharp.

  • @LegallyMoi It's because the Battle Cry of Freedom wasn't just a Union Song, the lyrics were changed by the southerners and it was also used as a Confederate Song.

  • @LegallyMoi The confederacy had their own lyrics to the song. it is a beautiful song no matter which side plays it

  • Union Now And Forever!

  • @eringobragh915

  • the confederates had a version of the song
