MILITARY BANDS
FY2002 PRESIDENT’S BUDGET
Description of Operations Financed
Air Force bands provide military and patriotic music for official military, White House, Congressional and State Department
activities such as ceremonies, formations and parades. In addition, they are an essential element in maintaining troop
morale, retention and recruiting, and play a key role in fostering excellent relations with the many communities that
interact with Air Force units. Air Force bands keep alive and enrich American musical heritage while projecting the
Air Force image.
Narrative Explanation of Change
Military Personnel
The workforce remains stable with a reduction of only one enlisted position out of 871.
Annual Performances
By the CSAF's direction Air Force bands are to provide at least 60% of their performances to internal Air Force audiences.
The figures in this exhibit represent an increase of 220 performances which are directed primarily toward deployed or remote
troops and to bases experiencing high PERSTEMPO or shortage of community services.
Resource Requirements by Appropriation
Air Forces bands intend to boost performances by approximately 3.5 percent with no increase in O&M funding which remains at
the same level as FY01. The change in military personnel funding stems from an increase in average composite pay rates.
