The band's repertoire includes almost all the international anthems, military marches, folk music, pop music, and classical music foreign and Kazakh composers. The band is under the direction of a bandmaster and senior military director, currently Colonel Talgat Berdigulov since 2006.

A member of the brass band carries a Lyre, which serves as the ceremonial symbol of the unit at official ceremonies. The requirements for membership in the band include physical standards such as the ability to run at least 1 mile. During an interview with Kazinform in August 2017, Tlek Ergaliev, the director of the band's brass group, stated that female bandsmen "must be beautiful and slim".

History

The band was formed in accordance with the Decree of the President of Kazakhstan in 1992 to provide the musical part of state, protocol, events and official celebrations. Until 1994, the it was called the Exemplary Band of the Kazakh Armed Forces and from 1994 to 2014 was a part of the Republican Guard. In 1997, the band was relocated to the new capital of Astana from Almaty. In April 2014, when the State Security Service of Kazakhstan was created, the band was rebranded as the Presidential Band. In 1994, a string quartet was formed, with musicians working with it over the years, including Bayan Musakhodjaev, Kairzhan Zholdybaev and Aida Ayupova. In 2006, the chamber music quartet was transformed into a chamber music ensemble. From 1997 to 2000, the Presidential Band included a Big Band Jazz Band under the direction of Honored Art Worker Alexander Ablaev. In 2015, the ensemble was revived under the direction of Suyunbai Kazbaev, a graduate of the Almaty State Conservatory. In 1997, a folk ensemble was created, which would later in 2006 become a laureate of the Daryn State Youth Prize.
