North Shore Brass is a community brass band based at 13 Taharoto Road in Takapuna, founded in 1923. It runs four bands within its organisation, so brass and percussion players can find an ensemble that suits their level. The bands represent the community at local and national competitions, events, parades and civic functions, and they stage a popular concert series.
The band is a registered charity and does not have a major sponsor, so it relies on members and the community. Its Seat Sponsor programme asks for support from $500 towards a seat or an instrument in the band. Sponsors receive four complimentary concert tickets and acknowledgement in the band's programmes and on its website. The website says the band won the A-grade in May 2026.
