Drummers and Fifers yes, for increasing Moral, or drumming Commands, keeping the Marching in Cadence etc. But here the Music is to create a aggressive Atmosphere and help the Painters to imagine and paint a Battle in the Background of what appearently is to become Portraits of the King, in an allegoric Pose as a Conquerer.
Yes! Actually always have been musicians in the wars; the celts used to scare enemies with their bagpipes and drums; in Mexico, Captain Bernal Diaz del Castillo's "True Story of the Conquest of the New Spain", say that they had drummers and flutists with them! ;)
Military musicians wore the livery of the colonel of their regiment. In the case of the household troops, the "Maison du Roi" this was the King, so they wore royal livery - without armour. If you want to see a modern survival of this practice look at the uniforms and costumes of the Corps of Drums, State Trumpeters and Regimental Bands of the Household Division of the British Army
They are wearing pikeman's armour. Only the pikes and maybe officers wore armour at this period and that was on the way out. 80% of the infantry were musket armed and usually did not wear armour. Violinists were not military musicians. A large part of the purpose of military music was to transmit commands - violins are useless for this. The infantry and dragoons had drummers, fifers (fifes not flutes) and sometimes bands of hautbois (oboes). Cavalry had kettledrummers and trumpeters.
The Orchestra aren't military though, they're The King's Musicians (La Musique du Roi), commanded by the SuperIntendant of The King's Music, Monsieur Jean-Baptiste Lully.
