The majority of the regimental bands (Such as Royal Scots Dragoon Guards ) have been disbanded. The Band of The Dragoon Guards was formed in 1994 when the bands of 1st The Queen’s Dragoon Guards, The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and The Royal Dragoon Guards were amalgamated.

It subsequently amalgamated with the Cambrai band of the Royal Armoured Corps on the 1st June 2006 to form The Heavy Cavalry and Cambrai Band.

Robin Hodges book shows the insignia of the Band of the Dragoon Guards.

The bands have been decimated by cost cutting in the past 20 years.
