Band Will Bring Civil War Music to Sigal

Easton's Municipal Band will meet an earlier version of itself Saturday at the Sigal Museum.

The band will perform with re-enactors from the Coates Band, named for Easton native, bandleader and Civil War veteran Thomas Coates, the museum said in a news release.

Coates became the leader of the Easton Band in 1850, and joined the 47th Pennsylvania Regiment of Volunteers in 1861, where he was part of that unit's band. 

Tickets for the peformance are $12.50, and give you access to the museum from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., which is when the band begins.
