The band with Julia Gillard at the Old Gum Tree Proclamation Day celebration 2012.      

History

In 1983 the band was formed as the City of Brighton Concert Band. Since then the band has worked under some very talented musical directors and has competed in the National Band Championships coming first in B Grade for 3 consecutive years, from 1991 - 1993. Due to the amalgamation of the Brighton and Glenelg Councils, the band was renamed as the City of Holdfast Bay Concert Band in January 1997. The band is a community band supported by revenue from concerts, fundraising activities, members subscriptions, the Lions Club of Brighton and by the City of Holdfast Bay Council.
