Uniform
Over the years, the band uniform has changed to correspond with that of the regular force. From high collars and dress tunics through peaked caps to white helmets and lanyards. The most marked difference between band and general police uniform was the band's adoption of the white helmet for marching, first used in 1972 at the Bramshill Cavalcade and withdrawn in 1999. Today, with the adoption of 'bowler' style hats for the female band members, the overall appearance more closely resembles that of the Number One dress worn by the Hampshire Constabulary.
