Welcome to the Air Command Band Website

The Air Command Band is a thirty-five member, full-time professional ensemble that performs throughout Canada and abroad. The role of this diverse band is to provide musical support to the Canadian Forces, all levels of government, and to a variety of public functions. Military and public parades, ceremonial occasions, international tattoos, public and school concerts, official dinners, dances and receptions are all typical engagements for this group.

The primary ensemble of The Air Command Band is the Concert Band. Other groups formed from within this ensemble include a stage band, dance bands, a jazz septet, a woodwind and a brass quintet, dinner ensembles and parade bands.

For over fifty years this professional Air Force band has been a highly visible unit of the Canadian Forces, instilling national pride in Canadian audiences across the country, "esprit de corps" in our military and providing the highest degree of diplomacy as representatives of Canada at international events around the globe.

The Air Command Band is presently under the direction of Captain Peter Archibald, CD.
