Book a ticket via Eventbrite
The fore runner to our beloved Queensland Police Pipes and Drums, is the original Queensland Police Brass Band which was in existence between 1895 and 1905. 53 years later in 1958 the Queensland Police Pipe Band was formed. 40 years later, in 1998, the Queensland Police Juvenile Pipes & Drums Band was formed to continue the music legacy.
Curator Lisa Jones of the Queensland Police Museum will give a short talk about the early QP Brass Band and then Drum Sergeant Yvonne Coustley will be our main guest speaker for the Police Museum Sunday Lecture on 29 October.
During her presentation, Drum Sergeant Coustley will outline how Queensland Police Juvenile Pipes & Drums (QPJP&D) are a very successful competing pipe band who receive free tuition from their mentors, the Queensland Police Pipes & Drums. She will explain how juvenile pipers and drummers gain valuable skills and experience and feel a sense of achievement.
The audience will be treated to a performance of the QPJP&D after the lecture finishes.
The one-and-a-half hour presentation will begin at 11am on Sunday, 29 October and will provide educational content suitable for all audiences.
The Museum opens its doors to the public on the last Sunday of each month from 10am to 3pm from February to November in addition to the standard Monday to Thursday 9am to 4pm opening hours. Monthly Sunday openings feature guest speakers from across the historical and crime-solving spectrums.
