Most Overrated Drum Corps Shows of the 1860s


Recommended Posts

1) 150th Pennsylvania Volunteers...they were fine in combat and drilling, but boy could they be annoying during down time, tooting on their horns and banging their drums.

2) New Hampshire 3rd Regiment...one-dimensional

3) 26th North Carolina Regiment...they complained a lot about their duties for some reason. Not cool.

WHAT???! Dumping on the NH 3rd again, Lance?? Who peed on your hardtack?

You pick them and overlook any number of "worthier" candidates including the NY 6th (Johnny Comes Marching Home AGAIN???!???

Hey, I was at those shows and battles! I do not remember people thinking they were that good back then... in fact, there was hatred towards them.

But those 26th NC.... all they did was get in cooky formations and play dissonance! Not even musical! But they were #### clean...

it wasn't intentional.

it's just what happens when they all play the same music on mismatched horns that were also in different keys.

The Longstreeters. Always went into battle looking great, and came out with their tails between their legs. The Grants had to take over

Can't believe I'm the first person to point this out, but....

INT was definitely the most overrated corps of the 1860s.

I thought the 1st Phantom Regiment from Illinois in 1860 though was underrated. They played some music from a new and fresh composer from the late 1850's's by the name of Charles Gounod. Gounod's new music of " Faust " from 1859 did not go over well back then however. But Phantom Regiment was apparently ahead of their time. Phantom Regiment brought back " Faust " once again 150 years later and this time it became a hit with Drum Corps fans.
