The 33rd IL Volunteer Regimental Band will host a concert on the David Davis Mansion grounds in Bloomington. The band was recreated in 1996 by musicians from Central Illinois, recreating the actual Civil War era band that was mustered at Illinois State Normal University in 1861. The band addresses the history of Civil War era brass bands and the evolution of brass instruments. The musicians’ uniforms are sewn from wool fiber and are authentic in every detail, patterned from actual uniforms worn by Union soldiers. This authenticity provides the most accurate presentation possible.
The David Davis Mansion Foundation will host an ice cream social during the concert, providing ice cream and toppings. Visitors are invited to bring their lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy an evening of music and comradery on the grounds of the historic Davis Mansion.
