The Western Australia Police Pipe Band is a Grade 1 pipe band based in Perth, Western Australia and associated with the Western Australia Police.

History

The original Western Australia Police Band played brass instruments between 1902 and 1925 when it was disbanded. The pipe band was formed in 1966.[1]

The band won the Grade 2 title at the World Pipe Band Championships in 1998, and was promoted to Grade 1 at the end of the season.[2][3] Another Australian band, the Victoria Police Pipe Band, won the Grade 1 title that year.

At the World Championships in 2004 the band qualified for the final and came 11th overall.[4]

The band is led by Pipe major James Murray.[5]
