The Victoria Police pipe band will be performing at the Pink Ribbon Ride in 2010. The Victoria Police Pipe Band is a traditional Scottish Bagpipe Band. The band consists of 10 pipers and six drummers and can perform various functions from marching in parades to static concert performances. The Victoria Police Pipe Band takes part in many police, community and corporate events throughout the year. These events include everything from police graduation parades, ceremonies and funerals, to large community public events such as the Anzac Day Parade in Melbourne, Moomba Parade and the Melbourne Cup Parade of Champions. The Fry Brothers, Tim and Roy Fry grew up in Hillcrest situated between two country towns in Since their father was a founding member of the Ballarat Country Music Club, it gave them them a chance to create their own sound and playing style. The brothers performed throughout their childhood and teens as an acoustic duo an in a succession of country to rock bands until they parted for a time whilst Roy completed a formal education in classical guitar and composition. Tim joined a touring country band playing pedal steel and performed at different venues throughout Victoria up to Queensland.
