It owes much of its success to the early musical leadership of Tom Russell, Les Alley, Stan Galloway, Les Smith and Peter Robertson, and more recently, musical directors Thomas Burge, Aaron Madden, Colin Fischer MBE, Viv Martin and Kevin Knapp. The current musical director is Veronica Boulton, formerly the long-term musical director of Marion City Band in Adelaide.

The band rehearses on Wednesday nights at Hawker College, Murranji Street, Hawker from 7-9pm.
