The present band plays on antique and replica Civil War instruments at reenactments, concerts, parades, festivals, and other special events. The Fifth Michigan Regiment Band is a non-profit organization. Stipends charged for performances are based on the distance and length of time involved. All income is used for operating expenses and instruments. The Band is managed by a board of directors.
All members are volunteers.
If your web browser supports the playing of MIDI sound files, you will hear background music from the Civil War era behind many of the pages in this website.
