TERRIFIC!!!!! Since Gen. John C Breckinridge was THE Confederate General in that neck of the woods, why don't you send an EMail to Col. John Brodie at VMI and ask if the Cabell-Breckinridge Brass Band can come down and help kick off the festivities. I can't clutter up the web with a photo, so I'll just say that they are armed with reproduction over-the-shoulder saxhorns just like the original Stonewall Brigade Band had, and the play music of that era.
