The band's repertoire encompasses all musical genres and styles that will delight the most demanding audiences – both older and younger audiences.

The unique hallmark of the Representative Artistic Ensemble of the Polish Army is its stage costumes, most of which are replicas of authentic historical uniforms, ranging from those of the warriors of Mieszko I to the "winged" hussars of Jan III Sobieski, and continuing to the present day.

The Representative Artistic Ensemble of the Polish Army enjoys great success and recognition both domestically and internationally with over 200 tours, including to Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, South Korea, China, the United States and Canada. They also performed for John Paul II at a special audience in 1994. To date, there has been over 60,000 concerts in the country.

All of the band's performances are warmly applauded by the audience and complimented by music critics for their artistry and mastery of performance.
