"As a former Musical Director of a Concert Wind Band, I know a good one when I hear one! This is an extremely competent band both for popular ‘potboilers’ and for more demanding original music for Concert Band. The Band of the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary is a real credit both to the Police Service and a positive asset for the local community."
