Visitors Book
Welcome to all who have visited our bandroom and performances
We’ve had the pleasure of hosting guests from across Aotearoa and around the world. Whether you're a fellow musician, supporter, or simply curious about brass banding — we’re always happy to welcome visitors to our rehearsal room or concerts.
Many have signed our physical visitors book, and we’re proud of the friendships and connections built through music over the decades.
If you’ve visited us recently and would like to share your experience or message, feel free to get in touch — we’d love to hear from you.
