Review: New-York Daily Tribune, 13 February 1865, 6.
“The fifth concert . . . was one of the finest affairs of the season. The large drill room, 1`60 feet square, was brilliantly illuminated. Festooned around the sides of the room and pendant from the roof were strips of red, white and blue bunting. In the center of the room was the music stand, of a circular form, decorated with evergreens and the flags and guidons of the regiment, the latter bearing traces of the two campaigns in which the regiment has participated. The balcony was also handsomely decorated with flags and bunting. The officers and company rooms, fitted up in magnificent style, were also thrown open, and elicited encomiums from the visitors. The music was furnished by the Regimental band under the lead of F.B. Helmsmüller, and consisted of selections from the leading operas, marches, gallops, etc., rendered in his best style. The rooms were crowded until the close of the concert, which was announced by the ‘tattoo’ beaten by the Drum Corps, under the direction of Drum-Major Bruce.”
