"But in the end, it's the history, stupid. If you can't document it, forget about it. And no amount of 'tomfoolery' can explain away conduct that in the end makes history (and living historians) look stupid and wrong. "
Alas wish I could RJ but the two photos that show it are in a book not electronic.
You can see it somewhat but not well in this photo one of the two but the other photo outside the Band Masters tent(And yes Band Master is stenciled on the tent) shows it great and then helps you make it out on the Caps of the rest of the band in the photo you see here.

I just noticed a similar thing yesterday while browsing through Borders bookstore. A book titled "Tennessee's Confederates" by Myers E. Brown had two pictures of a couple of soldiers from the 1st Tennessee Infantry I believe, where their company designation as well as "BAND" was displayed on top of the kepi.
