THE ROYAL HONG KONG POLICE BAND, WHICH CONSISTS OF THE SILVER BAND AND THE PIPE AND DRUM BAND, PLAYED CHINESE, MILITARY AND POPULAR MUSIC TO ENTERTAIN THE CROWDS AND WAS WELL RECEIVED. THE MACKINTOSH TARTAN WORN BY THE PIPE AND DRUM BAND ADDED TO THE COLOUR OF THE OCCASION. THE BAND WAS CONDUCTED BY ITS DIRECTOR OF MUSIC, MR COLIN WOOD.
