Special Forces Band
The Special Forces Command Band is the official military band of the country's Special Operations Command. On 18 June 2018, training began for over 40 soldiers of the SFC Directorate of Band to form a new musical unit. This was intended to make all three service branches self-reliant in terms of musical accompaniment. Much of the training was provided by its associated band from the Uganda People's Defence Air Forces. The soldiers were trained in music theory, orchestration and aural skills. On 5 July 2019 a graduation day in honor of the band was held at Sera Kasenyi Training School in the Wakiso District. Congratulations were made by the representative of the SFC Commander James Birungyi and the UPDF deputy spokesperson.[2][3][4][5] It is one of the few bands in the world that are attached to a special forces unit.
