The 10th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry Regiment Band is a re-creation
of the original brass band that accompanied the regiment during the
Civil War. The regiment was from the Sangamon, Logan and Christian
County areas and was mustered into service in 1861 at Camp Butler.
Today's band members are from those same counties and play music
from that period on original and reproduction instruments.
The 10th Cavalry Regiment Band is under the direction of Todd
Cranson, band and chamber orchestra director at the University of
Illinois at Springfield, and is an affiliated musical ensemble with
UIS Music. The band will also present a concert at the Aug. 7
flag-lowering ceremony at Lincoln Tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery.
