THIS WORLD OF PIPING
DELTA POLICE PIPE BAND

THE DELTA Police Pipe Band was formed in 1971 by the then-Chief Constable Mervyn Smith.
In his honour the band's livery is the Ancient Smith tartan.
The Band presently comprises a drum major, pipe major, thirty-five pipers and twenty-one drummers.
Delta Police Pipe Band is internationally known for its smart, military bearing and excellence of its musical performance.












By appearing at the famed Edinburgh Tattoo and at military tattoos in Hawaii, Halifax, Rotterdam (Holland), Virginia and Monterey (US), and Basel (Switzerland), they have honed an enviable reputation.
The band, with its more than fifty members, presents an impressive sight and sound to audiences.
This reputation has garnered the band standing invitations to perform in tattoos from Finland to Australia; from the Netherlands to Chicago; from Germany to Russia; from the Ukraine to Quebec.
The Delta Police Pipe Band is in its 40th anniversary year.
What better way to celebrate that event than for the band to be invited to play in the Windsor Castle Royal Tattoo, to be held in May, 2011.
The Delta Police Pipe Band is the only foreign band to be invited to participate in 2011.
Band members are looking forward to the event and Pipe Major Colin Abel said: "This is an honour that we will be pleased to accept and it marks recognition of the band we have worked hard to achieve."
Drum Major Moe Coll is pleased to be involved in this event and is confident that the band will acquit itself with honour. "Mind you, with all that Brit spit-and-polish around, we'll have to be on our top form."
The band raises funds for its international forays with two highly successful Burns Suppers on successive evenings, when a total of nine hundred people enjoyed the traditions that attend the celebration of Robert Burns, together with performances by the band, Highland dancers and a musical group providing dance music.
The band also presents a Celtic Gala on alternate years which showcases the Band and includes a prominent Celtic group or solo talent, together with a local choir.
These concerts are held in the South Delta Baptist Church in Tsawwassen, ideally configured to accommodate 1300 people and with a stage that allows the talents of the band to be viewed to the fullest advantage.
More information on the band can be found at the website www.deltapolicepipeband.com.
Band supporters can sign up for the band’s newsletter as well as browse articles on the band's history and achievements, look at video and photographs of band events and download music from band performances.
