History
The band was formed as Aberdeen City Police Pipe Band in 1907, wearing the Hunting Gordon tartan.[1] In 1965 a new uniform was introduced with the Black Stewart tartan.[1]
The merger of police forces in the north of Scotland to create Grampian police resulted in the present name of the band being adopted.
Th band was promoted to Grade 1 for the start of the 1995 season, until it moved back to Grade 2 in 2005. For the 2012 season, the band returned to Grade 1, having changed both its pipe major and drum sergeant.[1][2] It placed 16th overall in the 2012 World Pipe Band Championships.[3][4]
Events
The band plays at highland games and RSPBA competitions as well as police and community events.[1] In 1990, the band played for the Queen Mother to celebrate her 90th birthday.[1]
