A spearhead of Drum Majors will form part of the spectacle which d will be selected and under the command of our Drum Major - Clarrie Lemme. The Bass Drummer of NSW Police Pipe Band – Bronwyn Martin, has been appointed as the controlling/Senior Bass Drummer for this parade with Drum Sergeant Pete Kelly as a Leading Snare drummer.

The Massed Pipes and Drums will play the Lament ‘Flowers of the Forest’ with wreaths being laid in honour of Fallen and Departed Comrades.
