From October 2014, the closing of five Austrian military bands, including the Burgenland Military Music, was discussed for cost reasons. In December 2014, the government agreed to keep the nine locations, but the staff is to be reduced. Instead of the previous 47, there will be 20 musicians per federal state in the future. In May 2016, the Austrian Provincial Governors' Conference, together with Defense Minister Hans Peter Doskozil, decided to stop the army reform: the military music should be preserved in every federal state, each military music should consist of 43 to 47 musicians.
