In late 1997, the fifers in the 26th NC Regiment found themselves without any drummers. Not too far away, the 25th NC Regiment's father/son team of drummers, Noah and Aubrey Raper, found themselves without any fifers. The two groups of musicians soon began playing together as members of the "Carolina Legion Field Music" and have performed at Civil War living history events and reenactments ever since. | ||
