Israeli Air Force Band

The Israeli Air Force Band (IAF Band) (Hebrew: להקת חיל האוויר) is the principal musical ensemble of the Israeli Air Force, a service branch of the Israel Defense Force (IDF).

The Israeli Air Force Band was established in May 1948.

It was directed by Erich Teich, who held the position for 35 years, until his death in 1983.

Under Teich, the band was similar in style to Big bands and jazz bands.

The band is currently composed of a number of ensembles that play different genres such as ethnic music, jazz, and rock and roll.
