Waitakere Auckland Brass Band has been a part of Auckland’s musical heritage since 1923 when the band was established as New Lynn Citizens Band.
Under the direction of Musical Director, Grant Langdon, Waitakere enjoys a high profile within the Auckland region and continually raises the bar with its popular concert series and public performances.
The Band enjoys a reputation for musical innovation and community engagement.
Always at the forefront of Brass Band activity, performing locally and around New Zealand plus embarking on international tours to the UK, China and more.
Over the years the Waitakere Auckland Brass Band has been lucky enough to have many reputed conductors at the helm and instrumentalists around the stands and to this day we have National Champions in our ranks.
2016 has seen the birth of a new era for Waitakere Auckland Brass with the band winning the Sacred item trophy, runner-up in Set test and 3rd overall at the NZ Championships held in Napier in July. Subsequently, the band went on to become Auckland Brass Band Champions in September 2016.
