Pipe Major Cary Chung
樂隊領隊鍾治正
Cary Chung is a bagpipe enthusiast who has devoted his life to playing and promoting the Scottish bagpipe. His piping story begins with Scouting. The Scout Association of Hong Kong established the pipe band in 1971. Cary Chung, a 15-year-old scout at the time, decided to join the pipe band to learn the bagpipe after learning that the Scout Association of Hong Kong had established a pipe band.

In 1978, Superintendent Peter Chau MBE (later the Commissioner) of the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Police (equivalent to the Special Constabulary in the UK) decided to form a pipe band to replace the Filipino jazz band. Chau recruited the first batch of members in the Hong Kong Scout Pipe Band, and Cary Chung was one of them.
1978年，皇家香港輔助警察隊的警司周湛樵MBE （後來的輔助警察隊總監）決定成立一隊風笛隊去取代由菲律賓人組成的爵士樂團。 周湛樵於是在香港童軍風笛隊中招募第一批成員加入，鍾治正為其中一員。
The pipe band of the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force started operation in 1980 with donations from the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club and Sir Shiu-kin Tang, and Cary Chung was appointed as the first Pipe Major in 1981.

While serving in the Auxiliary Police Force, Cary Chung was honoured to be introduced by the band president of the Auxiliary Police Force to learn the bagpipe from the British Army Garrison in Hong Kong. He studied with the Scots Guards Pipe Band at Stanley Fort between 1982 and 1985. He then studied with the instructors of the Army School of Bagpipe Music from Edinburgh in 1987, 1989, and from 1992 to 1995. In addition, Cary Chung was also approved by the band president of the Auxiliary Police Force to participate in the piping course organised by the British Army when the Royal Highland Regiment (the Black Watch) was deployed in Hong Kong in 1996 and achieved an excellent result.
於輔助警察隊工作期間，鍾治正有幸被輔助警察隊的樂隊主席引薦到駐港英軍學習風笛。他曾經在1982年到1985年間與赤柱軍營跟隨蘇格蘭衛隊風笛隊學習，並之後於1987年、1989 年、1992年到1995年間跟隨英軍風笛學校的教官學習。另外，鍾氏亦都在黑衛士軍團於1996年在香港駐軍期間，得到輔助警察隊的樂隊主席的批准，參與由英軍舉辦的風笛課程並得到優異成績。
