I believe the Confederate bands played, Maryland my Maryland, while crossing the Potomac for Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania culminating in the battle of Gettysburg.

You are correct about the band but I believe it was first done when Lee’s army crossed into Maryland in the 1862
campaign that resulted in the Battle of Antietam.
