The Lancer Band is an Australian Army band, serving as the Regimental Band of the 1st/15th Royal New South Wales Lancers. The band is an organic formation of the regiment and is co-garrisoned at Lancer Barracks in Parramatta, Sydney, New South Wales. The Lancer Band is the oldest Australian military band still in continuous service being formed in 1891.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.9news.com.au/national/2015/04/24/13/13/australian-army-band-tackle-i-was-only-19-for-anzac-centenary )〕 ==Description== The Lancer Band is made up of Australian Army soldiers who serve as musicians as part of their Australian Army Reserve service. The band performs at government, community, military, and returned service functions. The band is able to perform in a number of ensemble formats, including a full military marching band, a big band or jazz ensemble, a rock band, a jazz quartet, a wind or brass quartet, and an acoustic ensemble. Buglers and drummers of the drum corps can also be detached to support functions individually. Members of the band are musicians by their Army trade, and this is their primary role within the Regiment and the Army. Entry to the band is based on competitive audition through the Defence Force School of Music and the Australian Army Band Corps. The band has performed at a range of events, including the Sydney ANZAC Day March, Hills Centenary of ANZAC, Manly Jazz Festival, and the Lancers Parade in Parramatta.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/their-one-day-of-the-year-20150425-1mt1p9.html/ )〕 The band regularly performs in support of local Returned and Services League of Australia events and commemorations, and assists other Army units with musical support for parades, march-outs, and regimental balls and dinners. In 2015, the Lancer Band achieved a significant amount of media and internet attention after a recording of the iconic song "I Was Only Nineteen", originally recorded by Redgum. The recording on YouTube was widely shared and broadcast.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/434260547943/SBS-World-News-25-April-630-part-4 )〕 The Lancer Band is attached to the 1st/15th Royal New South Wales Lancers as the Regimental Band, an organic sub-unit. In more recent times, the musicians of the band have been members of the Australian Army Band Corps rather than troopers of the Royal Australian Armoured Corps. Musicians are trained in the Army's soldier skills. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Lancer Band」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
