Military Band Service of the National Guard of Russia is the official musical department of the National Guard of Russia or the Rosgvardia. It has bands that perform commonly during many Russian national holidays such as Victory Day (9 May) on May 9 or Russia Day on June 12, as well as military holidays such as Defender of the Fatherland Day on February 23 and National Guardsmen's Day on March 27.[1][2]

History

[edit]

The band service's principal band, the Exemplary Band of the National Guard (Russian: Образцово-показательный оркестр войск национальной гвардии Российской Федерации), was established as the Band of the Separate Operational Purpose Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union on 6 December 1956. 15 years later, it was turned into a direct unit of the Soviet MVD's Internal Troops and was renamed the Exemplary Band of Internal Troops of the USSR. In 2016, following the creation of the National Guard of Russia the band service was renamed to the Military Band Service of the National Guard of Russia.

During the Soviet era, the band commonly performed in outside of the RSFSR, performing for the last time as a soviet band in the Uzbek SSR in 1989. The band took part in the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, the Friendship Games and the 12th World Festival of Youth and Students in 1985. In its travels, it has performed with groups such as the Cyprus Youth Symphony Orchestra.[3] The band notably took part in the Amur Waves International Military Bands Festival in Khabarovsk in 2018.[4][5][6] The band most recently participated in a tour of China and Vietnam in November and December 2019 respectively.[7][8][9]
