The Royal Military Band "Johan Willem Friso" serves primarily as the musical accompaniment at military events and ceremonial occasions within and outside the armed forces.
Its musicians give concerts, tattoos and shows at home and abroad.
The band provides musical support to the Grenadiers' and Rifles Guard Regiment alongside the Traditional Corps of Drums of the Grenadier Regiment and the Rifles' Guards Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps (both formations staffed by veterans and reservists), due to the few number of military bands in active service in the Dutch Army, moreover it is assisted by the Veterans' Drum and Bugle Corps of the Johan Wilem Frisco Infantry Regiment.
Aside from being the official band of the Grenadiers' and Rifles Guard Regiment it supports the activities of other regiments of the Army and of the Corps of Cadets, Koninklijke Militaire Academie, alternately with the brass bands of the RNA.

It supports the following annual and occasional events in the country:
Koningsdag
Prinsjesdag
Veteranendag
Bevrijdingsdag
Dag van de Strijdkrachten
State Visits (Staatsbezoek)
Presentation of credentials (Presentatie van de geloofsbrief)
Royal weddings (Koninklijke Huwelijken)
State funeral (Staatsbegrafenis)
Inaugurations (Inhuldiging)
Change of command (Verandering van commando)
