The main purpose of the band is to participate in the official meetings of high ranking foreign guests and in ceremonial events of the Lithuanian Armed Forces.

The band has successfully participated in military music festivals and has performed in Germany, Belgium, Poland, the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Estonia, Sweden, Guinea, and the Czech Republic.

[9] At the end of June 2004, a public event was held in Vilnius to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party, to which, at the request of one of the leaders of the LSDP, defence minister Gediminas Kirkilas sent the armed forces band.

Opposition parties were outraged by the participation of Lithuanian military musicians in the event, with members of the Liberal Movement of the Seimas demanding an explanation from Kirkilas.

In October of that year, the Central Commission for Official Ethics (COEC) ruled that then Minister of National Defense Kirkilas had not committed an offense by asking the President to send the band to the LSDP event.
