The Military Band of the National Guard of Georgia (Georgian: საქართველოს ეროვნული გვარდიის ორკესტრი) is the main military band of the National Guard of Georgia, and the senior state military band of the Defense Forces of Georgia (known as the Georgian Armed Forces until December 2018).
The history of the orchestra dates back to 1917 when musician Valerian Mizandar assembled 65 musicians in the ninth horse riding range of the Georgian Cadet Corps and created a large military brass orchestra, which had never been before.
In 1918, after the declaration of independence of Georgia, it was called the People's Guards Band.
In the beginning, its repertoire only consisted of national anthems, and military marches.
On June 20, Tbiliso, which is the unofficial anthem of the City of Tbilisi, was performed by both bands.
