A military band, resorting under the South African Air Force.

At the end of the Second World War the [[Union Defence Force Band]] was disbanded due to the circumstances at the time.

Since the band's inception it has played a prominent role in public life, by entertaining members of the [[SA Air Force]], the [[SA National Defence Force]] and the public.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Major George Hayden was the bandmaster, and his "Big Band" became a feature in the country.
