The Band of South Australia Police commenced in 1958 and changed from Brass Band to Military Concert Band in 1974 and has an enormous following throughout South Australia.  With musical trends changing in modern times the Band has evolved with the addition of electronic instruments and vocalists.

The concert band includes multi-talented instrumentalists who double on woodwind, brass and percussion instruments to cater for a diverse range of musical styles. Several members of the band also specialise in areas such as sound engineering, musical arranging, and emceeing. Repertoire spans traditional military music, light popular classics, movie themes, Broadway songbooks and swing, featuring soloists and sections from the band.

Named in 2016 as a State Icon the concert band connects with communities all over South Australia building relationships and delivering safety messages through the universal language of music and entertainment. This is a great opportunity to see the concert band perform live at Shedley Theatre in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
