Americus Brass Band pays homage to music from the Civil War, Old West and Sousa eras, a time when brass bands were an important part of musical America. These songs take us back to a time when music soothed the weary spirit, enlivened the soul and celebrated a soldier’s heroism in battle. Many of the songs from these eras have become popular tunes, including, “When Johnny Comes Marching Home, Dixie and Oh, Suzanna.�?Founded in 1976 by music students at Cal State Long Beach, who were initially attracted to Civil War reenactment, sought authenticity in dress and instrumentation to create a concert experience unlike any other.
Because of Americus' professional musicianship and continuing commitment to historical authenticity, the band travels the length and breadth of the United States performing shows, period balls, reenactments and living history events.
In addition to touring, the group has appeared in ABC television mini-series “The North and South; and performed for movie soundtracks, including the 1990 Tri-star Pictures Oscar winning movie “Glory�?and more recently Disney’s “Hidalgo.�?BR>
