Journalist Tina White's weekly "Memory Lane" article in the Manawatū Standard. History of brass bands in Palmerston North. The earliest brass band in Palmerston North was the Garrison Band, formed in 1864. It was an important part of the city's entertainment scene from its earliest days. Over its long history, the Garrison band combined with the City Silver Band and eventually became the Palmerston North Brass Band in 1972.

Life member and president (2015) John Ward has been awarded a civic award and Queen's Service Medal for services to music.
