Gold Coast City Brass Band

Gold Coast City Brass Band Gold Coast City Brass Band is a volunteer, community based, not for profit organisation. Our Musical Director is Mr Danny Ellem.

Gold Coast City Brass Band is a volunteer, community based, not for profit organisation that has proudly served the Gold Coast since 1902. If it happened on the Gold Coast then the Gold Coast City Brass Band was there to help Celebrate the Occasion! We play a variety of brass band music (both modern and traditional) for the enjoyment of both the players and audience. We strive for the band, and ou

r individual members, to improve musically whilst still having fun in a relaxed atmosphere. We perform at events such as Australia Day Citizenship Awards, Anzac Day Parades, the Gold Coast Moncrief Community Awards, and many other community events including a variety of concerts, workshops and, of course, Community Christmas Carols. Danny has been a part of brass bands for over 36 years, ranging from Ipswich to Brisbane and now the Gold Coast. He has a passion for teaching new students and also developing existing musicians. We are a current member of the Queensland Band Association.
