Our logo: The centrepiece is a symbol of our recognition, appreciation and affiliation with civilian community musicians throughout all Commonwealth nations.  Above this are two swords which symbolise our band's rich and historic military heritage.  Below is a boomerang which displays our recognition and appreciation of Australia's First Nations' peoples.  Indigenous Australians played a vital role in our nation's military history and continue to do so, both in our military and throughout society.  Whilst the band operates throughout Queensland, Australia and internationally, we would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional owners of the land our headquarters are based, that is the past, present and emerging Elders of Quandamooka country.  The logo is encased in our name and it is our aim that the combination of all these elements symbolise our respectful yet dynamic and inclusive ethos.
