On November 7, 1941, the Orchestra took part in the parade on Red Square in the composition of a combined orchestra regiment. In 1943, the orchestra won the first place in the competition of military orchestras of the Moscow Military District, which brought it the title of the Model Orchestra of the 236th Regiment of Convoy Troops of the NKVD.
