Heavy Cavalry and Cambrai Band, fairly short lived and now since 2014 rolled into the Band of the Royal Armoured Corps. Cap and collar badges: Noting that CAMUS badges are worn in No2 Dress and on the beret by all CAMUS Bands..

The Heavy Cavalry and Cambrai Band was formed from the Band of the Dragoon Guards and the Cambrai Band of the Royal Tank Regiment.
Before that, the Band of the Dragoon Guards was formed in 1994 from the Regimental Bands of the 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards, The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and the Royal Dragoon Guards, it being an amalgamation of the Bands of the 4th/7th Dragoon Guards and the 5th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards. Band badges were introduced in 1996 in a new design of helmet plate, cap badge, collar badges, shoulder title and button but it seems a variety of dress items pertaining to the constituent regiments were also worn. Your picture of the Bandsman with trombone is from a blog dated 2013. Tim

Yes correct for its time but (should) not (be) worn after 2014 when amalgamated (again) into the Band of the Royal Armoured Corps. See post no3 above.
