Band plays a significant role in cadet squadrons of the Canadian Cadet Organizations (CCO). Cadet bands provide their squadrons with accompaniment for ceremonial occasions and add visibility within the community. Equally important, the cadet music program provides individual cadets with a challenging, worthwhile means of developing as cadets, musicians and members of the community.
The main objectives of the cadet music program are:
- to provide skilled cadet musicians to corps/squadrons in support of corps/squadron training; and
- to provide individual cadets with the opportunity to develop as cadets and as members of Canadian society using music training and education as a vehicle.
