The Band, הלהקה, (also known as The Troupe) is a 1978 Israeli musical comedy film directed by Avi Nesher about a military band during the War of Attrition. The story dives into the hazing, intense rivalries, and romantic entanglements between veteran members and new recruits who are eager to prove themselves. The movie was initially unsuccessful but has grown in popularity over time. The character of the choir leader is inspired by the real-life composer, arranger, and music director of The Nahal Band, Yair Rosenblum.
