The large number of people who apply every year for admission to the entrance examination at the Military Music Band TYROL speak for the high appreciation of the excellent education and training. The Military Music Band TYROL performes in about 150 military music events per year in different musical formations. A characteristic for the State of TYROL are the today so-called “Bezirkskonzerte” (District concerts), in former times called “Recruitment Concerts”, which are highly appreciated from the civil audience too. Having close relation to the State of TYROL and its tradition, the Military Music Band TYROL essentially contributes a lot to Austria’s image on music inside the country and abroad through a variety of high-level concerts in famous and historic concert halls but also through so-called “Music in Motion”-Performances, open-air concerts and performances at International Military Tattoos.
