Currently located at Canadian Forces Base Winnipeg, the RCAF Band provides musical accompaniment for ceremonies of the RCAF in Canada. The band is presently under the command of Captain Matthew Clark.[1][2] HistoryIn 1946, Carl Friberg, a wartime bandmaster working as a public relations representative in Vancouver, was invited to form a professional band for the RCAF No.2 Training Command in Winnipeg. It became operational the next year and was transferred to Edmonton as the "North West Air Command Band". The band's first high profile performance was during the Earl Alexander of Tunis's (Governor General of Canada from 1946 –1952) tour of western Canada in 1948. In 1955, the North West Air Command Band became the "Tactical Air Command Band" with and an increase in musicians took place, going from 35 to 55. The band was transferred back to Winnipeg in 1964 and was combined with the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery Band in 1968 which was made up of 90 members at the time. The band was transferred to the newly-formed Air Command in 1975, with its headquarters in Winnipeg, and was renamed the "Air Command Band". During the reformation of the Music Branch in 1994, the band was expanded from 35 to 45 members. The band changed its name again in 1997 to "The Band of 1 Canadian Air Division" when 1 Canadian Air Division was formed. This band had 35 musicians. Another name change came in 2000 when it was changed back to "Air Command Band". And in 2011 the band was renamed "the Royal Canadian Air Force Band".[3][4] In July 2018, the band took part in the changing of the Queen's Guard at Buckingham Palace in London for the first time.[5][6] EnsemblesThe RCAF Band is made up of 10 main ensembles.[7]
