The Eastern Bay of Plenty Brass Band is an A Grade brass band based in Whakatane, New Zealand. It is the senior band in our town however we still have many high school aged students or younger within our ranks. Our members are often selected for the National Youth Brass Band, the National Secondary Schools band and in 2017 two of our members went to Kerkrade, The Netherlands with the National Band.
