Best Answer

All Military units have a band. It is a long standing tradition, using a theme song or a rallying song for war and for pride in the unit.

The military bands are called upon to play for dignitaries or many other events, where music is needed and appropriate.

Ceremonies would not be the same without the music. They would be very dry and have less meaning. Many pieces played by military bands bring tears to your eyes, because of the great meaning to the tunes and also for the "pageantry" and pride, we as the audience feels when they are played well.

The military bands work long hours to perform at a highly acceptable level of performance. Their individual careers and futures, depend on their abilities as a musician.

They do it because of pride in their ability and corps.
