Vintage Brass

We are one of the bands within Kumeu Brass Inc and have 45+ mature players (girls & boys). There is no age limit, but the average age of members is 77 years, having previously played in more than 100 different New Zealand & overseas bands. If you’ve played in a brass band in an earlier life, come on over for a blow.  We meet for rehearsal every Thursday afternoon, starting at 11:30 pm. Performances and gigs are regularly planned.
