Since its first public performance leading the 1975 Calgary Stampede Parade, the Calgary Police Service Pipe Band has represented the City of Calgary and the Calgary Police Service by performing across Canada, the United States, and Europe.〔(The official CPSPB web site. )〕 Today, the Band has more than 50 pipers, drummers, and dancers and continues to perform annually at a wide variety of events including Calgary Police Service functions, municipal and provincial events, parades, and highland games. The Band performs with the permission of its Colonel-in-Chief, Chief of Police Paul Cook. ==History and traditions== The band was modeled after other successful police service pipe bands, notably that of the Edinburgh Police. The band performed at the 1989 Nova Scotia International Tattoo. Pipe Major Bill Crabbe composed a tune specifically for the band to use as its own signature tune, entitled "The Calgary City Police Pipe Band". The band refers to it as a "regimental march",〔(CPSPB website )〕 betraying the British military influence on the band. This heritage is further reflected in the full Scottish ceremonial dress adopted, as well as the lesser orders of dress. In full dress, all musicians wear the feather bonnet headdress, with wool doublet, plaid and kilt in Prince Charles Edward Stuart tartan. A modified CPS service dress jacket "cut-away" in Highland style to accommodate the sporran is worn for lesser occasions, and shirt-sleeve order is worn in summer or on occasions permitting it. A glengarry with distinctive black-and-white dice design is worn with the CPS cap badge in all orders of dress not calling for the feather bonnet. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calgary Police Service Pipe Band」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
