The band was detached to the Powder River Depot at the time of the battle. The band served as corpsmen to the injured during the return trip to FAL on the steamer Far West.
The band rode grey or white horses but when they reached the Powder River Depot, they surrendered their horses to the Cavalry to replace horses that could not continue on.
