DRUM MAJOR-OLD NIGERIA POLICE BAND

There is little difference in the military and police ceremonial dress.The Nigeria police force is a semi-military body and it's origin may be seen by it's dress .The police colours are navy blue for the fez,zouave jacket and putees. The Nigerian police band wore navy blue shorts similar to those worn by the Nigerian police force before the second world war.The tassel on the fez and the trimmings and piping on the zouave jacket are scarlet.
Underneath,the bandsmen wear a white shirt.The Drum Majors uniform is the most splendid of the bandmen's uniform.
