Founded in 1967, the band has grown substantially within the past decade. With a current roster of over one hundred players, the Windsor Police Pipe Band is one of the largest piping and drumming organisations in Canada, and the world.Players are divided, based on playing ability, into two separate bands in Grades 4 and 5. (Grade 4 being the higher category). Each band performs at a high standard and is consistently a contender for top prizes in their respective grades. The organisation used to field a successful Grade 1 band, but on September 8th, 2008 the Grade 1 band announced its dissolution, citing a failure to obtain leadership as the primary cause.
The band(s) can be seen performing at numerous events and contests throughout the year in Canada and abroad. The band(s)also hosts an annual fall concert, "Piping Under the Stars". As a community service, piping and drumming lessons are offered weekly.
