The New Zealand Army Band (Māori: Puoro Puoro Ngāti Tūmatauenga) is a brass band that primarily provides musical support for the New Zealand Army at all state and ceremonial occasions.[1] It was founded in 1964 by Captain (later Major) James Donald Carson (1934–2008) of the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment.[2][3]
It is based out of Burnham Camp, which is the largest army base on the South Island. Presently, the New Zealand Army Band and the Officer Cadet School are the only units of the New Zealand Army that employ scarlet tunics as part of their full dress uniforms.[4] The Campaign hat is also used as headgear for the band. 35-members strong, it includes a parade band, a concert band as well as rhythm sections and a vocalist.[citation needed]
The band sports an official newsletter entitled Espirit De Corps that generally publishes two articles a year.[5]
