The Ghana Navy Band announced today that it is now open to bookings for private and social events, including weddings and parties, as it celebrates six decades of musical service.
Chief Drum Major CPO1 Ayertey James Teye Wayo told the radio programme Upside Down that the band’s scope has widened beyond official military ceremonies. He said the band has become more accessible, with the ability to “attend to any call at any time.”
Wayo added that the performances are affordable and that the band can tailor shows for a variety of occasions. He noted that the band’s expansion aims to strengthen ties with civilians and raise its profile among international military bands.
Sub‑Lieutenant Albert Ayertey Dei‑Anakwah, the band’s Admin Officer, said the civil‑military engagements are intended to foster stronger relations between the military and the civilian population. He also mentioned efforts to improve performance standards to match those of naval and other military bands abroad.
The Ghana Navy Band operates from Sekondi, Accra, Tema and the Volta Region and welcomes inquiries from individuals and organisations seeking musical entertainment for their events.
