• Wehrbereichsmusikkorps III (formerly known as Heeresmusikkorps 13) -- Is a symphonic wind orchestra of the Musikkorps and is comprised mostly of time and occuption soldiers. These soldiers are in military service for nine months ("Grundwehrdienstleistende") and are integrated into the orchestra after auditioning. Music consisting of solemn promises, military ceremonies and performances of the Grossen Zapfenstreich or Grand Tatoo belong to their repertoire. At many charities the Wehrbereichsmusikkorps III is a connection between the German army and civilian population, not just only in Germany, but also abroad in France, United Kingdom, Belgium and Canada.
