The band is engaged in a plethora of different activities, from taking part in state official events, military ceremonies and remembrance days to accompanying important sports, military-historic and cultural events.

The ensemble’s creativity path is closely related to the activities and philosophy of the proper Emergencies Ministry and aimed at developing among its staff and officers the sense of duty and loyalty as well as shaping careful and respectful attitude towards Russian arts, history, traditions and culture.
