The Heartbeat

115 Years of Excellence in Brass

From the mine-sites of 1910 to the National Championship stage of 2025, we are the sound of the Bass Coast.

Our Pillars: Music, Mates, Memories

The Music We are the 2025 National C-Grade Champions. Under the baton of Craig Marinus, our Senior Band maintains a premier standard of musicianship while honoring our rich Gippsland heritage.

The Mates More than just a band, we are a community. We offer a social sanctuary and safe space for musicians of all ages, fostering intergenerational friendships and lifelong connections.

The Memories Our story is Wonthaggi’s story. Since 1910, we have provided the soundtrack to the town’s most pivotal moments, from the Union Theatre’s construction to its centenary celebrations.
