Edinburgh Tattoo set to play West Australian Police Pipe Band



West Australian Police Pipe Band has been selected to perform in Etihad Stadium Melbourne this weekend as part of the 2016 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. The band’s drum major Const. Iain Hamilton said it is a very amazing moment for us because Australia’s only eight pipe bands will be taking part and it will be televised worldwide, so it is a great honor for WA Police. Police funerals and graduations, schools and youth centers and other government agencies invite WAPOL regularly to perform.


The WA Police Pipe Band which is Australia’s Number One pipe band consists of a mix of WA Police full-time employees and volunteer guest member descents of Australia, Scotland, Northern Ireland, South Africa and New Zealand, many of whom are current or former world drum and pipe champions. WA Police bands Support Association funds WAPOL’s activities and tours and also special fundraising events held by serving police officers in their own time provide the necessary means.
