The Willoughby Youth Brass Band is the Most Successful contesting Band in Australia.

Originally formed in 1960 under the guidance of Reg Bishop as the Chatswood District Band, Willoughby City Band has been the leading Senior and Junior A Grade combination in NSW for over 25 years. In the NSW contesting field, the Senior Band has won the Championship 18 times and been second on 4 occasions, and the Juniors have been victors at 23 contests and runners up on three occasions.

One of the aims of the Willoughby Youth Brass Band is to offer students who play brass or percussion instruments, the opportunity to play in an environment of fun and social activity.

The band is conducted by Brian McGuinness. Brian is an experienced conductor who has worked with a number of youth bands and orchestras throughout Sydney.
