Thanks for posting!
And here's a photo of their (main) bandleader, Stabsmusikmeister Ludwig Klamberg (the previously pictured bandleader is some NCO).

Thank you for the addition, Ivan!
Re:
[Split from Unidentified Heer bands]
This is a screenshot from a short British Pathé reportage about the parade of the Leibstandarte in Paris in July 1942: The interesting thing here is the Schellenbaum. The inscription is not on traditional SS black background, but on white, more typical for the Heer. The collar tabs of the conductor are also looking like two similar Gardelitzen. Maybe it's some Heer and not LSSAH band?

Re: Musikkorps der Kommandantur Paris
The following four photos (by the same photographer) were taken at the same spot and the musicians seem to be arranged in the same order; however, Klamberg is wearing a different tunic. So either he changed his tunic for some reason at some point, or it's a different concert.

Several excellent shots taken during a guard changing ceremony. Both the bandleader and the drum major are NCOs.

Re: Musikkorps der Kommandantur Paris
From the same source, another guard changing ceremony (notice that the weather and the time of year are different than in the previous photos; take a look at the sky, the shadows and the trees, which have much less leaves).
Re: Musikkorps der Kommandantur Paris
..another one...
Re: Musikkorps der Kommandantur Paris
...and another (these actually might have been taken on two different occasions, judging by the sky with/without visible clouds and the dry/semi-wet streets; not sure).
