‘Formed on March 1st 1990 and is comprised of serving and retired members of the regular Force, Specials, civilian staff and members of their families, together with a handful of musicians best described as "known to the police" ... The Band is non-competing and is always open to new players and visitors - you don't have to be a police officer to join us! ... The Band is firmly established on the county's charity concert circuit - we are proud to have performed for many charities and support organisations, proceeds from concerts are reckoned to be well in excess of £100,000.‘
