The Band of the King's Division

The Band performing at the Preston Military Show 2010

The Band of the King's Division was formed on 12 May 2006 as result of the restructuring of Army Bands in 2006.

The Band is presently based at Weeton Barracks near Preston. As the only Army military band based in the North West they are ideally located to support events in that part of the UK but indeed can and do travel worldwide in support the Armed Forces and civilian events.

The Band has a wealth of talent and an arrange of ensembles beyond marching band and symphonic concert band.  This includes small ensembles, fanfare trumpets and a Rock Band. 

The Band may be technically quite young but it carries forward with it the many fine and long standing traditions of it's predecessor bands and indeed the Regiments of The King's Division.
