Found a historical directory of Brass Bands , no mention of a "City Of Melbourne" one.
Brass Bands of the World
Checked Highland Pipe bands and there is a "City of Melbourne Highland Pipe Band" but it didn't take that name until 1978. (from 1918-1978 known as Melbourne Highland Pipe Band)
Quote:
In 1978 a geographical affiliation was established with the City of Melbourne and the band became The City of Melbourne Highland Pipe Band.
