Originally formed as The Southern Command Band in 1940. After an Army reorganisation in 1972 all bands were either disbanded or renamed after the military district in which they were located and it became The Band Of The Third Military District. As a result of organisational changes in 1991, the titles of all bands were changed to unique names which would provide a clear Army and geographical identity and it was renamed Australian Army Band Melbourne.
