For each variety of bands [Vscr], we give a formula for ϕ[Vscr](m,k), which is the largest integer such that for every band B in [Vscr] generated by m generators and k relations, there is a subset of the generators of size ϕ[Vscr](m,k) which generates a (relatively) free sub-band of B as a basis. We also determine the semilattice structure of a finitely presented band.
