he Wallgau
Brass Band was inaugurated in June 1929, by two brothers Alfred and
Josef Neuner. In the late 40's there was an interval until 11 enthusiastic,
young Wallgauers started the Wallgau Brass Band of today. Their first
concert took place in June 1949, conducted by Martin Reindl and they
continued playing in concerts, Church festivals and local festivities.
Since then the band has become one of the mainstays of cultural life
in the village.
