Volunteer Infantry

N-Q

Musicians: Each brigade of volunteers is allowed a band of sixteen musicians, and a leader at seventy-five dollars per month. the law is not clear as to whether the leader is one of the sixteen or in addition to them. These bands receive the same pay that the regular regiments do.

Each company of infantry, artillery, and engineers is allowed two musicians,--a drummer and a fifer; and in cavalry, two trumpeters. These are independent of the musicians allowed to the band. They are on the footing of privates with respect to pay, clothing, and rations. They are instructed by the drum-major or principal musician.

The chief trumpeter in cavalry regiments occupies the corresponding position to drum-major, or principal musician, in the other regiments. The trumpeters are instructed by him, and he is held responsible for their neatness and appearance on duty and their presence at roll-calls. His pay is that of chief bugler, twenty-three dollars per month.
