About FABB

The Federation of Australasian Brass Bands (FABB) is dedicated to the promotion and rebirth of Brass Banding to the wider community. It is hoped that the brass band movement can be promoted as both a healthy art form, and provide opportunities to build alternative family blocks within which the members can actively seek and act out their musical passions.

It is our goal to promote the banding movement to all levels of our community and hope that individuals with musical talent and inclinations have a viable pathway into the community whether their goals be as a professional or amateur musician.

The Federation of Australasian Brass Bands Pty Ltd (FABB) is a private company. The company has a board of management that includes highly experienced and skilled musicians and administrators. Board members are unpaid.

The company will operate on a not-for-profit basis with all or any profits being put back into the event so that it may grow in the future.

The objectives of the company are quite simple in that the company wishes to reignite Brass Bands to the wider community by ensuring that the highest standard of musical performance is achieved and delivered.
