Reserve bands

Each state had one (up until recently) and they are an important part of  the RAN to provide the official and ceremonial requirements in their state were a permanent band could not be available. Not entirely made up of ex-perms but by musicians that enjoyed the ceremonial occasion's and the satisfaction that comes with playing with a professional band.

This section is a testament to the history of these bands and the continued importance for their existance. Primarily sorted by state then year this section will also include the all important ACT's with the perms at the specific depot's.

From the Reserve Bands tab, select a state then a year to view the pictures and stories. As with all the selections on the site they will be updated constantly, so please submit your photo's and stories for inclusion to This email address is being protected from spambots.
