Australian Defence Force Musicians are employed to perform in the Defence Force Band, providing a powerful public relations medium and fostering partnerships with government organisations, business partners and the community.
Musicians enrich Defence Force culture and promote the organisation throughout Australia and overseas by performing music for Government and Defence Force ceremonial occasions, parades, commemorative events, conferences, formal dinners, military and state funerals, the Defence Force community, festivals, public concerts, school concerts and charity events.
