Founder and Conductor Emeritus Stewart Stanbridge is well known throughout the New Zealand concert band world. When he founded the band in 1988 he established a work ethic that has resulted in many band members going on to successful professional careers in music. Others who have passed through the band in a more recreational frame of mind will testify to a hugely formative and enjoyable experience in music under Stewart’s direction.
