The AFM Band is a regular participant in official events and ceremonies, mostly performing on major holidays such as Republic Day in December.
During the Second World War, the band was suspended as its members were serving on active-duty missions in mainland Europe.
The AFM Band was established in 1970 by Warrant officer Chircop Anthony.
In particular, the last decade saw the AFM Band travel to festivals in Germany,[5] Italy, Russia, Libya, Switzerland and Scotland.
