FABB was formed in 2007 as a catalyst for developing more formal links embracing brass bands within the Southern Hemisphere.
Mr Casagrande commented: "The appointment of Australian born Professor David King as Musical Advisor to FABB represents the Federation's decision to align their vision for a more cohesive Australasian band 'movement' with a globally recognised musical figurehead."
