Comments: Squadron Patch – RAAF Central Band.
Now obsolete. In 2008 it amalgamated with the Air Command Band to form the Air Force Band.
The Air Force Band’s mission is to promote and enhance the image and culture of the Air Force through music and ceremony. The band is a strategic asset that provides the Air Force with a powerful public relations medium. It fosters partnerships with government organisations, industry partners and the community. The band promotes the professionalism of the Air Force and also represents the Air Force and Defence at significant cultural events such as ANZAC Day commemorations in Australia and internationally.
In order to represent the Air Force at a wide variety of events, the band delivers a range of music products, including its ‘flagship’ ceremonial and concert bands, show bands, chamber ensembles, and drum corps.
