Maine Historical Society
Military bands made a comeback following their initial post-Civil War demise.
When they returned, they adopted some of the European style music that many town bands had begun using, including the addition of woodwinds to the traditionally brass bands, and new instrumentation.
This is the Fifth Infantry Band from Fort Williams in a 1920 parade.
