Police Station bands

Matsuyuu · Aug 18, 2003, 04:21

My saxophone tutor told me that he spent a while in Japan playing in a band there (long story); but the point is, he told me that, when we went there like 40 years ago, there were bands for every police station, fire station, etc. that you could join.
1st, is that true still? 2nd, how do you join? I'm not gonna be going there any time soon, but if I ever do and I want to get a job, I'd consider that if they'd let me join.

Oookay, I guess nobody knows.

I've heard of police bands in various countries (Scotland, NZ, Japan, the US) that play for festivals, competitions, etc; although it's most likely not for every station and could be comprised of fire, police, emergency services, civilian members. Not sure if this is what you're getting at or not.
