Come join the 1st Brigade Band at its Annual Harvest Ball. The band MAKES HISTORY LIVE by presenting period brass band music, performed on antique instruments. Attired in uniforms and gowns, the Band's musicians, color guard, and costumed ladies take you back to the 1860's; to that turbulent era known as the Civil War. A nostalgic portrayal of the atmosphere of days gone by is generated by a unique form of showmanship that blends the sights and sounds of the period with historical anecdotes. Everyone is welcome to join in this wonderful tradition. Polkas, Schottisches, Jigs, Reels, Waltzes and more will be played and the band will teach you the steps. Come in costume or wear modern clothes, you never know who will show up. Maybe Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln or Mr. and Mrs. Grant will make an appearance.
