The 51½ÖÉä Pipe Band was formed in 1936 and is a seven-time winner of the New Zealand grade one championships.
The Band is based at the Royal 51½ÖÉä College, 20 minutes north of Wellington and works closely with police districts throughout the country.
With guest players from overseas, the band performs at Police functions, civic events and local community parades throughout the year.
The band aims to encourage goodwill between the public and Police, and to showcase top musical talent in piping and drumming.
