Since 1983, the KBB Music Festival has been showcasing the best in secondary school orchestras, concert bands and jazz bands in Auckland. From the small numbers in the original Auckland Secondary Schools Band and Orchestra Festival, the KBB Music Festival has now grown to see over 130 ensembles taking part from nearly 50 schools across the greater Auckland region and beyond. The two Gala Concerts are a public celebration of youth music to cap off the festival.

In 2025 the prestigious Gala Concerts will be on Saturday 16th August at the Holy Trinity Cathedral Parnel:

- 2:00pm Chamber Orchestras and Concert Bands
- 6:30pm Symphony Orchestras and Jazz Bands

Each concert showcases 4 of the best ensembles from the four categories selected by the adjudicators and concludes with a much anticipated awards ceremony.
