Randy,

 You may find what you're looking for --or a link to it-- at
 http://www.costumes.org/history/100pages/militaryuniforms.htm#North%20America%2019th
 It's one of the organizations that Hollywood goes to when they do a period movie.

Another site that may be helpful --although it's the music which is stressed.  If  I remember right, it's primarily Canadian history,  but you might want to take a look (or rather, a listen?).   http://www.militaryheritage.com/sound.htm

Fun subject!

Are there any drawings of such uniforms from that time?  I am sure the band was unit of the Virginia Militia.

re headgear.  Had kepi's of some variation of them come into existance by then, or was that a later military invention?
