The Whangarei Brass Band

The Whangarei Brass Band (C. H. Chissell, bandmaster, was formed about 1883, and was originally brought and has latterly been restored to a state of excellent efficiency by Mr. Chissell. When he resumed control early in 1900 the membership had fallen to six, but he has now (March, 1901) increased it to twenty-four, and has sixteen of the new members under his special instruction. Mr. Chissell has also been instrumental in obtaining a first-rate uniform for the band, which is now in a position creditable to itself as the garrison band of Whangarei.
