Distinguished Alumni of Bondi Brass include Cliff Goodchild OAM (1986) and others who have made significant contributions to the Australian and international music scene.
Of Course everyone in the Band has made a contribution here but this list are individuals specifically music professionally oriented and have made careers in music as such:
