The Band of today numbers over 40 players, all of which are among the finest instrumentalists to be found in the services. Stationed in London, the duties include the daily Guard Mounting at Buckingham Palace.

It is also present at various State Occasions throughout the United Kingdom, two of the most notable being the Trooping the Colour on Horse Guards Parade and the Remembrance Parade at the Cenotaph, in Whitehall.

A fair proportion of the musicians are "double-handed", capable of playing both a string and wind instrument, as the Band is often called upon to produce an orchestra to play at Investitures and State Banquets in Buckingham Palace.

The Band has a number of formats and ensembles available to hire from within its structure:

• Marching Band
• Concert Band
• Fanfare Team
• Bras Quintet
• Wind Quintet
• Orchestra
• Jazz Ensemble
