Who are we?

Established in 1925, the SPF Band has evolved from a small regimental marching band of 33-officers into one of Singapore's distinguished military bands, known for its commitment to upholding the values of discipline, unity, and pride through music.

Over the years, the SPF Band has been more than just a fixture at national events and ceremonies and has become an important part of Singapore's cultural scene. With a diverse repertoire that ranges from military marches and classical pieces to contemporary works, the Band has consistently captivated audiences both locally and abroad.
