The Queensland Police Pipes and Drums have been selected to take part in the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, one of the world’s most prestigious military and cultural events. The Tattoo, which features marching bands, drummers, dancers, and precision routines, will make its Brisbane debut before moving to Auckland later in February.
Acting Senior Sergeant Lisa Phillis-Petersen, Officer in Charge of QPP&D, said the invitation was “an incredible honour and a moment of pride” for the band. Preparations for the event have already begun, following the band’s recent performances at ceremonies such as National Police Remembrance Day.
Earlier this month, the band performed at Southbank, giving morning commuters a glimpse of their pipes and drums. The performance previewed the energy and precision that QPP&D will bring to the Suncorp Stadium stage next year.
The February performances form part of the Tattoo’s 75th Anniversary Show, themed ‘The Heroes Who Made Us’. The show brings together performers from around the world, combining military music, dance, and ceremonial displays. For QPP&D, the invitation represents a first opportunity to perform at this internationally recognised event while showcasing the musical traditions of the Queensland Police Service.
