the musicians do their war chants to impress or persuade and for their own warriors to be brave and ready for fight.,.coz' many wars include drummers, bagpipers etc.

The Company fifer gave signals at camp such as the call to arms. While the infantry company marched, the drummer and fifer set the cadence. During marches, the fifer improvised tunes, creating variations on a theme while keeping the rhythm of the march. While the unit rested, the drummers and fifers played music to entertain the soldiers.

The Americans continued to use the Irish duty throughout the Civil War.

They were used as signaling instruments (opposed to musical instruments) by American units during the Civil War.

The company musicians, classified as non-combatants, were often too young to enlist as regular soldiers, they were kids 13-14 years old.
