@robensminger69 Very true that all musicians were to wear bearskins. The reason I thought them to be in the Grenadier Co'y was due to the wings. I could just as easily be wrong. In regards to the "King's 8th" label, I agree, however it's just as easy to say "King's 8th" to get your point across. Cheers!

It is a common mistake (I think started in the reenactment community) to refer to them as "King's 8th"-- one or the other was used historically or in parentheses as I did. Also ALL musicians were supposed to wear bearskins, not just the grenadiers. Check the regs. But again, ALL royal regiments would have similar uniforms for their "Musick", not just the Kings. You can't see the buttons from here, but they have 8's and K's on them. I know....I made the uniforms.

@robensminger69 You're definately right. Those are musicians of the King's 8th Regiment of Foot. From the angles of the video, all appear to be in the Grenadier Co'y of the 8th. Interestingly enough, the 8th covered more ground than any other British regiment in the American Revolution. Not only were they stationed in Fort Detroit, but also Fort Michlimackinac and Fort Niagara. They also made attempts with Indian allies to take the modern city of St. Louis.

They are dressed at the Field Musick of the 8th (King's) Regiment of Foot, ca. 1779-- the period when the regiment garrisoned the forts of the Great Lakes, headquartered at Fort Niagara. However, as a Royal regiment, the field musick uniforms of the King's would be similar to the Royal Fusiliers (7th Foot) or any of the other Royal regiments of the period.....

The final march is, of course, "Yankee Doodle."
-
The first March was indeed composed as the "President's March"; but it has been recast as "Hail Columbia," and is the music for rendering honors to the Vice President.
-
I know the First Song they played is President's March which hasn't been played in over 200 years

they look like the 7th fusiliers or just a grenadier regiments fife&drum corp
