QLD Police Pipes and Drums bring music and memories to Odyssey

Odyssey recently welcomed the moving sounds of a traditional pipe and drums band with a visit from the Queensland Police Pipes and Drums (QPP&D). It was an honour to host the esteemed and highly sought-after QPP&D to our community, and their musical performance brought joy, energy and inspiration to our residents. The visit was made even more special when our resident Norm, a former band member, had the chance to step in and play the drums. We were also delighted to welcome 9 News Gold Coast, who came along to capture the event and share the story.

Music has a unique and beautiful ability to lift spirits and events like this help foster a sense of unity and shared appreciation, especially when the performers are pillars in the community. Police presence not only adds to the community’s sense of security, but also helps cultivate positive relationships and a harmonious environment. The QPP&D offer free performances, between 30 to 40 minutes, to a number of community groups and members. This was a memorable experience for everyone at Odyssey, and we are grateful for the opportunity to create such cherished moments for our residents. A big thanks to the QPP&D and 9 News Gold Coast!
