Maffra Municipal Band

Maffra Band has made its mark, performing at community events and celebrations throughout Gippsland. Our music continues to dazzle crowds at events both near and far, as it always has.

A Welcome From Our President

At the heart of Maffra for over a century

The Maffra Municipal Band has been at the heart of Maffra for over a century, with a long-standing history throughout the Gippsland community.

We encourage everyone who loves music to consider joining – those who would like to learn, those returning to playing, right through to graded musicians, we have a group for you. We are a family friendly bunch of all instruments and ages who share a love of music, and play many different styles; there is something for everyone! Our members come from all over Gippsland; from Bairnsdale to Munro, even as far as Traralgon. Come along to rehearsal or see the band perform, and experience the joy that comes with making music. We hope to meet you soon!
