About The Band
Established for over 110 years, the Band of the Hampshire Constabulary is based at the Police Training Headquarters at Netley, Southampton. Its members are drawn from serving and retired staff of the Force, both police, support and from family members of the same. The band also welcomes players from outside the Force family where additional instrumentation is needed.

The band also welcomes players from outside the Force family where additional instrumentation is needed.
All the band members are volunteers and the band largely operates within its own resources. It is a military-style concert band consisting of woodwind, brass and percussion players. Its wide repertoire ranges over marches and overtures through classical pieces to selections from popular shows. Concert organisers throughout Hampshire and the Isle of Wight book this accomplished band for their events and many thousands of pounds have been raised for charity over the years.
