Band of the Ceremonial Guard

The Band of the Ceremonial Guard (La Musique de la Garde de cérémonie) is an ad hoc military band that is attached to the Canadian Forces Ceremonial Guard in Ottawa. All members of the band are fully trained members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and consist of personnel principally from two Foot Guard regiments (the Governor General's Foot Guards from Ottawa and the Canadian Grenadier Guards from Montreal). Since 2007, the band has been composed of a pan–Canadian Force that is inclusive to musicians from the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Air Force. The band forms a separate company within the CG and relies on the Headquarters Company for administration and support personnel. In full composition, the band is active from April to August.
