Music played an important role in the Civil War army. Individually, and in groups, music and singing were common in the soldier's life in camp and on the march.
Soldiers entertained themselves by singing and playing musical instruments.

Musical instruments such as drums and bugles were used to issue commands. Some regiments had their own bands play for parades and concerts.

Fife and drum corps and regimental bands often performed concerts for entertainment. Smaller instruments were popular because they were portable and easy to play.
