FORT POINT GARRISON
BRASS BAND
Welcome
We are a Northern California based 19th century reenactment band. We perform period music on original (150+ year old) instruments at events throughout Northern California and Northern Nevada. We reenact both military and civilian brass bands from the California Gold Rush era, the American Civil War era (both Union & Confederate bands), and bands of the American Indian War era. Please contact us if you would like us to perform at your event.
