Morale boosters

Even before the days of Sir Francis Drake and the Spanish Armada, music has played a key role in the military.

Keeping units marching in step, boosting morale and performing at ceremonial occasions are an inherent part of our history - and who we are today.

More than musicians

Prepared for action. When the time comes, Royal Navy Band Service personnel are ready to put their instruments down and join military operations.

Whether it’s supporting a medical team on board a casualty-receiving ship or getting vital supplies to the front line, their military role is just as vital as the musical one.
