Paspampres Presidential Band

The band is attached to Group A of Paspampres stationed at Merdeka Palace and/or Bogor Palace, which serves the President and his First Family and is composed of military musicians from bands within the INAF (from 1962 until 1999 including the Indonesian National Police).

During the brief history of the infamous and controversial Tjakrabirawa Regiment, its honor guard detachment sported a military band that played during national holidays and state visits by foreign leaders to Jakarta.

The band in its current capacity was created in January 1976 when the current Paspampres (then Paswalpres) was established and the band's first musicians formed up partly of personnel from the Kodam Jaya Headquarters Band which, for over a decade, served operationally as part of the joint Satgas Pomad Para task force during state visits and national holidays.

[2][3] As the official presidential band it performs for the President, Vice President, and foreign dignitaries during their visits to Merdeka Palace and Bogor Palace, as well as during the Independence Day flag ceremonies every August 17.

One of the band's performances was during the 2020 state visit to Indonesia of Singapore President Halimah Yacob.
