THE WIND ORCHESTRA DURING A FLAGSHIP RECITAL AT THE ABC CENTRE ULTIMO<br />
The <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Australian</strong> <strong>Navy</strong> Band is a prestigious unit of the <strong>Australian</strong> Defence Force, and ‘one of Australia’s<br />
premier military ensembles’. Its history can be linked to the various bands of the colonial naval forces—which were<br />
in existence prior to Federation—and to the bands of the <strong>Royal</strong> Marines. Throughout its history, the band has<br />
performed for thousands of audiences within Australia and around the world. Today, the band continues a proud<br />
tradition of providing ceremonial, musical and public relations support for the <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Australian</strong> <strong>Navy</strong>.<br />
The band incorporates a fleet of ensembles to assist in fulfilling its mission. All members of the band perform in the<br />
ceremonial activities conducted by each detachment. To ensure versatility, our detachments maintain additional<br />
capabilities including a wind orchestra (Sydney detachment only), a concert band (Melbourne detachment only),<br />
and chamber ensembles, jazz ensembles and rock ensembles.<br />
