Netherlands - The National Police Orchestra was founded in 1949 and exists as a Harmony Orchestra and a Marching band. In early 1979, the drummers of the Marching Band wanted to expand their music knowledge and were searching for another music form which had to be united with the Marching Band owing to its knowledge and rhythm. Steelband music was soon discovered. At that time all their members were Policemen. Nowadays, the Police Steelband is no longer a member of the National Corps Police Orchestra. It is now a Musical Unit within the Dutch Police Department.
