The Band of the Blues and Royals was formed in the year 1661 from members of the what has now been disbanded the cavalry of the New Model Army. The Regiment was given the nickname of the Oxford Blues as a result of their first Colonel, the Earl of Oxford and also because of their blue uniforms.

During those early years the band featured kettle drummers with trumpeters and they wore heavily embroidered and gold laced frockcoats which look very similar to the present day state dress. This includes a black velvet jockey cap which was introduced during Queen Victoria's reign.
A pair of solid silver kettle drums which were presented in 1805 by King George 3rd are still in use today and are carried by the Drum Horse while being played by their mounted drummer on the Queen's Birthday Parade and on Horse Guards parade.

The band requires all members to undertake an intensive five month long Household Cavarly Equestrian Course. The Band travels across the whole of the UK and overseas providing state trumpeters, marching and concert bands, salon orchestra and small ensembles. They perform at major state and ceremonial occasions including The Ceremony of the Garter, state banquets and Investitures at Buckingham Palace.

In more recent times the band has seen active service in both Gulf conflicts within their operational roles while supporting medical units.
