All formal requests will require the Band Request Form (To the Right) to be completed and forwarded to the appropriate people as noted in the document.

Note 1 – The submission of the request is required a minimum of 45 days before the event start date. Urgent requests will be reviewed on an individual basis.

Note 2 – For events that are not directly related to official military requirements, a financial charge may be applied. Accordingly, a Provision of Services agreement and Contract will need to be completed for non-official functions.

Note 3 – The bands of 41 Canadian Brigade Group are comprised of Reserve Force personnel or volunteers who only parade once a week or as required due to military requirements. Therefore it must be understood that long range event confirmation cannot be guaranteed and/or may be cancelled at the last moment due to operational or higher priority official CF requirements.
