About Set Fire to the Brass

A brass band gathering built around competition and communal noise, drawing players who spend the rest of the year rehearsing in draughty halls for exactly this. Bands arrive early, instruments polished, for a day of set pieces and own-choice pieces judged in front of a crowd that knows the repertoire cold. It rewards showing up early rather than arriving for a single headline performance.

Porirua, 18km away, has a smaller pool of 15 hotels but suits those who'd rather stay somewhere quieter and commute in for the day.
