The first Band of Samos was founded under Governor Kopasis, with the Italian Del Buono as its conductor. The next conductor of the band was Kyriakos Moramvas. After the joining of Samos to the Greek State, the members of the Band were granted the privilege of being exempt from military service. Therefore, when World War I was declared (1914), a Military Band of Samos Guard was formed with band conductor Panayiotidis from Karlovasi.

The next Band of Samos was created in 1922 with Georgios Palamaris as its conductor. After his death, the Italian Niccola Martino took it on till 1935, when the band was renamed as Band Society of Samos. Following that, there was the Municipal Band conducted by Yiannis Koutroulis, which was dissolved during World War II.

In 1945 Stefanos Katsikakis creates a new Band, which he conducted till 1975. Further on, Georgios Pothas took it on, who taught young children and is running the Municipal band till today. In spite of all the problems he encountered, thanks to his artistry and the unreserved support of the Municipal Authorities, he managed to create for the Municipality one of the best bands of the Aegean. The band is composed by 30 persons while there are also 15 beginners practicing. The 30 members of the band appear in all the religious, commemorative and cultural events and in national anniversaries. The band has performed in the past in various islands such as Rhodes, Kos, Leros and many others.
