Azərbaycan Respublikası Silahlı Qüvvələrinin Hərbi Orkestr Xidməti
On the basis of the bands of the Baku Garrison, Transcaucasian Military District of the Soviet Armed Forces, the military band service was founded on 1 July 1992 by order of the Minister of Defense Rahim Gaziyev. The debut performance of the units of the band service was on 9 October 1992 during the Day of the Armed Forces parade on Azadliq Square.[5] Being a young unit, it needed to get specially designed uniforms for the parade. This was the result of having to wear military uniforms left over from the Soviet Army. During preparations for the state visit of President of TurkeyTurgut Özal, the military attache of the Turkish embassy in Baku entered the band training hall, to which he was disappointed in the uniforms of musicians, with the Turkish Army sending parade uniforms and musical instruments sometime later.[6]
President Heydar Aliyev supervised the training of national cadres in the band and the training of military music specialists. In the first years of the formation of the service, the soloists of the exemplary band took part in the farewell ceremonies of the personnel going to the battle in the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. In the 90s, military bands in the Land Forces, Air Force and Navy, as well as special educational institutions were created.[3]
