Lord Mayor's City Hall Concerts presents Queensland Police Pipes & Drums and Band of Blue. THIS CONCERT WILL BE AUSLAN INTERPRETED. Queensland Police Pipes & Drums (QPP&D) were originally formed by a small group of police officers in 1958 to represent the QPS in pipe band competitions. Today, our professional musicians perform official functions at Police, Fire and Corrective Services graduations, Government House events, and Anzac Day and National Police Remembrance Day marches providing an air of tradition to formal proceedings. QPP&D serves the Queensland community by regularly performing at charity and community events. QPP&D perform at retirement villages Living and Aged Care facilities as well as performing their Kops in Kilts program at primary schools, providing crime prevention information to assist frontline police. Kops in Kilts is a fun, interactive performance involving traditional music as well as some children’s favourites. featuring old favourites such as ‘The Black Bear’ and ‘Scotland the Brave,’ and surprising many with their energetic take on ‘The Mexican Hat Dance’. QPP&D run several programs, including free tuition of the Queensland Police Juvenile Pipes & Drums, fostering positive relationships between QPS and the Queensland public through musical performances at charitable and community events. QPP&D will be joined onstage by Queensland Police Band of Blue - operational police officers with a rich history of entertainment and community engagement. The overriding aim of Band of Blue is to break down the social stereotypes of policing and enhance relationships between police and our communities through the universal language of music. Band of Blue perform at high-profile charity and community events such as Dance for Daniel, Steve Irwin Gala, and EKKA. Their performances span a wide range of genres from classic rock, blues and pop hits to jazz and country music. This Lord Mayor's City Hall Concert is produced by Evolution Productions.
