Morning Melodies: Royal NZ Artillery Band

About

Child Policy: Children under 3 years of age will be admitted free of charge if they are seated on a caregiver's knee. Lap ticket must be collected from the Box Office prior to entry. Children over 3 years must purchase a ticket for entry. These crowd pleasers and returning favourites are back to rouse you with songs and tunes from across a range of musical genres. Based in Panmure and formed in 1864, The Royal NZ Artillery Band is the oldest military band in New Zealand and was part of the New Zealand Defence Force until the Reserve Bands were disestablished in 2012. However, it has battled on as a volunteer band, re-affiliated to 16th Field Regiment RNZ Artillery, and is happily in good shape, performing a very busy and varied schedule each year throughout Greater Auckland and beyond.

What to expect

Expect a charged, committed crowd. Arriving on the early side buys you the good spots. Energy is the product. Pace yourself; the peak comes later than you think.

The essentials

Entry is cheap or free, and the event runs Mon 11:00. You'll find it at Bruce Mason Centre — the surrounding blocks carry the same energy, so the night doesn't have to end at one address.
