Hire Us

Sutherland Shire Brass is a not-for-profit community organisation. We receive some subsidies from Sutherland Shire Council and members pay an annual fee to assist in meeting our financial obligations.

We also hold monthly playouts in local shopping centers and we are available for a number of engagements to 'play-for-our-supper' - as either a marching band or as an on-stage ensemble (subject to bookings and competition commitments).

If you are considering hiring us you may be interested to know that we provide a lively, thoroughly entertaining repertoire. As you can see from the list of engagements below we are available to perform at a variety of different functions. If you would like to inquire about our fees and availability then please contact the Secretary.
