Military Band
A military band is a group of personnel that performs musical duties for military functions, usually for the armed forces. A typical military band consists mostly of wind and percussion instruments. The conductor of a band commonly bears the title of Bandmaster or Director of Music.

Early Western medieval sleeves were cut straight, and underarm triangle-shaped gussets were used to provide ease of movement.
