The Band of the California Battalion will again play for our patriots this September. Bring your friends, family and enjoy an entertainment feast as we listen and sing along with the band.
The concert is at Rush Park Auditorium, 3001 Blume Dr., Los Alamitos CA on Tuesday evening, Sept. 20 at 7 pm. Come early. Introduce yourself to the MC (me) if you attend. FREEPERS wanted!
“many of these secessionists went east to fight for the confederacy”
Leaving California ahead of the rush. :)
Concert is tomorrow night!
They didn't play "Lorena," but they did play a number of popular songs, including ""If Youve Only Got a Mustache" (1864), "Marching Through Georgi" (1865)and "The Telegraph Quick Step" (1858), which featured a telegraph key as a musical instrument. They also played "Dixie" and closed with "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Thanks for announcing that concert on FR. Otherwise, I would never have known about it. That band certainly has talent—they can sing as well as play.
I also enjoyed meeting you—one of the few Freepers I have ever met in person.
A pleasure meeting you as well. I’ll be putting up pix on the website this week.
