Are you a fit for the KOCR Band?

A brass and reed band has been an integral part of the King's Own Calgary Regiment since 1910. The KOCR Band is one of the two Primary Army Reserve bands in 41 Canadian Brigade Group and services the Southern Alberta area. The band appears primarily as a concert and parade band which provides music for military, veterans and state functions as well as public performances throughout the year.

The band currently consists of both active Reserve Force members and a few Volunteer members. Reservists commit to join and train on a part-time basis with the Canadian Forces. Our Volunteers are generally retired military members who donate their time and skills for the opportunity to perform with a high quality band in a variety of settings.

The band is comprised of players of various ages and skill levels from recent high school graduates to university players, hobby players, semi-professional and professional musicians.

We rehearse Tuesday evenings, from 1900 - 2200 hrs (7:00 - 10:00 p.m.).
