About the Band

Band of the Adjutant General's Corps Marching

The Band of the Adjutant General's Corps is constantly in demand for parades and displays. We have recently played for HM The Queen at the arrival of HMS Lancaster, performed for the Sovereign's Parade at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and numerous military engagements including Beating Retreats and Recruit Pass Off Parades.

The band are busiest during the summer season and have completed several successful tours in recent years, most notably at the International Military Music Festival in Bremen, Germany and the Ring Rider Festival in Sonderborg, Denmark.

As well as a very good marching band the band has a more than capable symphonic concert band which performs in concert at locations across the UK and beyond.

Within the bands outstanding musicians a number of smaller ensembles and contemporary bands are available:

  • Pop Band - 'Maneline' is the AGC Band's highly professional pop group.  Playing music from The Beatles to Robbie Williams to the Kaiser Chiefs there's always something for everyone when they take to the stage.
  • Jazz Groups - The AGC Band's highly talented Jazz Group, 'Funky Cats' are a extremely versatile ensemble that play everything from the old standards to  modern jazz in their own unique style.
  • Folk Group - 'The Wild Rovers' are our newest group and add another dimension to the AGC Band. Its repertoire spans folk music from around the British Isles and encompasses both modern and traditional.  The unique line up lends itself to a versatile group which can play at a variety of functions playing  that you can dance, listen or sing along to.
  • Brass Quintet - If Brass is your thing, look no further than the AGC Brass Group. With arrangements of everything from Bach to Bernstein, you won't be disappointed.
  • Woodwind Quintet - The AGC Band's Woodwind Quintet are the perfect compliment to smaller scale functions.  From classical favourites to show time hits, there's sure to be something in their repertoire for everyone.
  • Saxophone Quartet - The unique sound of the Saxophone Quartet provides an entertaining backdrop to smaller events. Bringing a contemporary twist to many old favourites, it's easy to hear why so many like the sound of the Sax.
  • Fanfare team - Incorporating a team of between 2 and 8 players with or without Percussion, the AGC Fanfare Team bring that touch of class and splendour to an event.  They have performed all over the continent, from opening special occasions to announcing the arrival of VIP's.
