Funeral March No. 1 or Merry Men Home from the (War) Grave

The Escort having been drawn up in line facing the quarters of deceased, (musicians on the right,) at the word present arms’ from those in command, the music will immediately give a salute of ‘Three cheers’ and proceed to play a funeral dirge (somewhat slower than marching time) until the corpse is brought to its proper position in line. When there is more than one drum present. one portion of them will continue to roll, and the others to give the time to march by, changing off every 8 or 16 bars, alternately, (all drums muffled) until arriving at the place of burial. After having deposited the body in its final resting place, and the Escort have done firing the customary salute over the grave, the musicians will not play again until outside of the enclosure,—when they will strike up a lively air; the ‘Merry Men Home from the Grave,’ being considered the most appropriate. Time: Alarm in Camp. Location: Police Drummer. Musicians: Head Quarters Tent. Call: Long Roll. All of the drummers beat a continuous roll, signal for all troops to prepare as quickly as possible for some type of action. Time: Drumming out of Camp. Location: Police Drummer. Musicians: Call: The Rogue's March. Played when a defiant soldier is kicked out of the army. He is stripped of all the markings of a soldier and lead out of camp Time: Marching Away From Camp. Location: Musicians: Field Music Call: The Girl I Left Behind Me. Traditionally played when departing a city or camp.

Time. These are the approximate times for activities that would have occurred while an army was in camp and not in the immediate presence of the enemy. The times fluctuated based on the season of the year, location of encampment within a specific theatre of war, and orders from headquarters. At re-enactments: The Commanding Officer (or headquarters staff) are responsible for establishing the schedule for what signals will be played when. Location. See diagram of regimental encampment for exact locations. At re-enactments: I have never observed a "Police Guard" or "Police Tent" at any event since 1988 (this is not the Provost Guard). The Commanding Officer's or headquarters tent can be substituted for all the references to the Police Tent. If the camp is not organized in the manner I illustrated, ask the Commanding Officer for direction. Musicians. The titles and duties are as defined in the period military manuals. At re-enactments: Very seldom (and you will appreciate those special times) will a full complement of Field Music be present to perform Camp Duty. Play those parts of duty you can with the personnel available, or even by yourself. This will make a better musician of you and will really show your talents when you are blessed with the presence of other musicians. Call. I hope the descriptions are straight-forward and clear. NOTES. There are three daily roll calls in each company, under the superintendence of one of its commissioned officers. The first follows immediately after reveille, the second after retreat, or evening parade, and the third immediately after tattoo. Absentees from either roll call, unless excused are usually subjected to extra tours of guard, or police duty. Immediately after reveille roll Call, the tents and quarters are put in order by the men in each company, under the superintendence of the chiefs of squads. The guard-house or tent is put in order by the guard, or when sufficiently numerous, by the prisoners. The reports of each company, signed by its Captain and First Sergeant, will be handed into the Adjutant daily, at the First Sergeant's call. At the Surgeon's call, the sick then in the companies are conducted to the hospital by one of the Sergeant's, (the First when practicable.) who will each hand to the Surgeon, in his company book, a list of all the sick of the company, on which the Surgeon will state who are to remain in, or go into hospital; who are to return to quarters as sick or convalescent; what duties the convalescent in quarters are capable of; what cases are feigned, and any other information in regard to the sick of the company he may have to communicate to the company commander. Drum Corps: Massed drummers of the Regiment or Battalion. Drum Major: Non-Commissioned Officer in charge of the Field Music. He is responsible for overseeing the training. Care of instruments. conduct. assignments. &c. for all of the Field Music.

Field Music: Massed drummers and fifers of the Regiment or Battalion. Field Music bivouacked with their respective companies except for those assigned to Police Drummer and Orderly Fifer duties during each 24 hour period. At re-enactments: The general rule is all of the Field Music will sleep and eat with their company comrades. Leading Drummer & Fifer: Posted on the right of the Field Music for the purpose of giving necessary signals for the commencement or alteration of any beat or march. Orderly Fifer: At Guard Mounting. the Drum Major will select one fifer to accompany the Guard to the Head Quarters Tent. He will attend to the quarters of the Adjutant. or officers of the day. And deliver orders. He will then repair to the Head Quarters Tent and remain until relieved. Police Drummer: At Guard Mounting. the Drum Major will select one drummer to accompany the Guard to the Head Quarters Tent. He will remain there for the purpose of giving signals and should not under any circumstances leave his post without permission. At re-enactments: At larger events, the Commanding Officer has been known to request the Police Drummer to bivouac and take his meals with the headquarters staff. The Commanding Officer normally appreciates having a Police Drummer available should the schedule change and to assist with other staff duties. Signal Drummers & Fifers: Musicians selected from each Regiment and Battalion to beat the prescribed signals on the Regimental or Battalion parades. The Leader: The leading drummer who governs the music played by the Field Music and who receives orders from the Drum Major. In my examples he is referred to as the Principle Musician. At re-enactments: Seldom is there a Drum Major present at an event. Normally. the most experienced musician assumes the responsibilities of the Leader. Drum Major and Leading Drummer but retains his position in the ranks with the other Field Music. This sounds scary but all it means is the Field Music should elect a leader to obtain orders and schedules from the Commanding Officer and to determine what music is played when. For this position. a time-piece writing paper and pencil are necessary for recording what signals to play where per the event schedule or Commanding Officer’s orders. BIG HINT: ALWAYS set your time-piece by the time shown on the Commanding Officer’s at the beginning of the event. Signals should ALWAYS be played per the time on his time-piece.
