Since its inception in 1885, the Warragul Municipal Band has gone from strength to strength, achieving wide acclaim for its outstanding playing. The band's first paid performance was at the 1889 Warragul Show. The band has had many name changes but has continuously existed since 1885. There were many periods during which the band struggled to maintain its presence, particularly during the two world wars when manpower was at a premium and during the great depression of 1930. The most successful era has been from the mid-1970s until the present day.

During the Band's 140th Anniversary Year, the exhibition: From The Beginning - A Walk Through Time; was a focal point of the year long celebrations. While the exhibition is long closed to public viewing, it is being archived and saved for future generations. This project will take some time, so for now, you'll just have to enjoy this video taken by Emma Nicholson.
