The regimental band was formed in Quebec City in 1922 with the 20 members of the former Royal Canadian Artillery Band. A year later, the band began performing at the Orpheum Theatre, in Quebec City and on radio station CKAC in Montreal. During World War II the ensemble gave performances primarily to encourage recruitment. The band has performed for the coronations of two Canadian monarchs (George VI in 1937 and Elizabeth II in 1953). It was present at the 300th, 350th, and 400th anniversary of Quebec City. The band resided at the Quebec’s Citadel until 1988, after which time it moved to the Canadian Forces Base at Valcartier near Quebec City. Following a reorganization of Canadian military bands in July 1994, the regimental band was dissolved. 3 years later, it was reestablished. The band joined the ranks of the 2nd Canadian Division Support Group in 2006.[1][2][3]
The International Anthem of the Royal Golf Clubs, which commissioned by Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, was premiered by the band on 12 September 2017.[8][9]
In February 2019, the band's brass quintet performed in Kuujjuaq in the first visit of a military band in northern Quebec.[10]
In December 2019, the band has been part of the Canadian delegation deployed in Italy to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Italian campaign (World War II).[11]
