THE BAND.
[779.] The band is formed in two or more ranks, with sufficient intervals between the men and distances between the ranks to permit of a free use of the instruments.
The field music, when united, forms with and in rear of the band; when the band is not present the posts, movements, and duties of the field music are the same as prescribed for the band; when a musician is in charge his position is on the right of the front rank. When the battalion or regiment turns about by squads, the band executes the countermarch; when the battalion or regiment executes right, left, or about face, the band faces in the same manner.
In marching, each rank dresses to the right.
In executing open ranks each rank of the band takes the distance of 3 paces from the rank next in front; the drum major verifies the alignment.
The field music sounds the march, [flourishes], or ruffles, and [to the color] at the signal of the drum major.
