Military band
The first military band in Serbia was founded in 1831 by decree of Prince Miloš Obrenović under the title of "Knjaževsko–Serbska Banda". This band served the then-Royal Serbian Army and is the ancestor to the modern Serbian Guards Unit Band as the official ceremonial band of the Serbian Armed Forces. The Royal Yugoslav Army and the Yugoslav People's Army have also maintained military bands in their ranks throughout the 20th century, with the former having a band in its Royal Guard. There was also a Military School of Music in the early 1900s. Military bands also include the Niš and Binički Bands of the Serbian Army.
