I was wondering if there were any reenactors among the group.

I'm especially interested in reenactment bands, and have heard the 26th North Carolina (Federal City Brass Band) and 1st Brigade Band (Brodhead, WI) live. I own recordings by the Americus Brass Band, Robert Garofalo's Heritage Americana Band, and the Saxton Cornet Band. I play trombone, conduct, and arrange for the 1st Nebraska Volunteer Civil War Band.

I think if you poke around there may even be a group here for reenactors.

Yes. I did an article about the 26th NC and 24th Michigan at Gettysburg. See: "The Deadly Embrace- The Meeting of the 24th Regiment, Michigan Infantry with the 26th Regiment, North Carolina Sta by Robert Lee Hadden. Gettysburg. Issue #5, July 1991.
I included information about the 26th NC band in the article as well. Check it out at your local public library- they should be able to get it for you on inter-library loan.

I've worked at a living history museum with one of the members of the 1st Brigade Band and have seen them perform. Have a few of their CDs.

At reenactments I've also picked up CDs or cassettes by:

* 97th Regimental String Band
* 33rd Illinois Volunteer Regiment Band
* 2nd South Carolina String Band
* 52nd Tennessee String Band
* Mean Mary and Frank James - not a regimental band, but she has an interesting voice

Love the 97th. Whenever I drive to a reenactment -- these days only as a spectator -- I have them playing during the trip. They're great to sing along to.

Haven't listened to the 33rd IL as much. I think I only have their "Hardtack & Coffee" CD, but it's got some great songs on it. "We Are Coming, Father Abra'am" always makes me tear up.

The 52nd TN I only have on cassette, and only one of those. It's pretty funny: they do a sort of "Hee Haw" routine (you know, like the TV show) where they sing a little, then stop to tell a joke, then sing a little, then....

The 2nd SC I like, too, but not as much as the 97th.
