The Northern Command Band

A marching band from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The Northern Command Band was formed in 1949 (Not to be confused with the North Queensland Army Band). The first bandmaster was R.C.L. Rignold. Bandmaster E.T. Selby followed. The marching band played ceremonial parades, charity functions, Commonwealth, State and Municipal functions. After an Army reorganisation in 1972 all bands were either disbanded or renamed after the military district in which they were located and it became The Band Of The 1st Military District. As a result of organisational changes in 1991, the titles of all bands were changed to unique names which would provide a clear Army and geographical identity and it was renamed Australian Army Band Brisbane.
