Both bands drew funding from the local community until around 1895 when the depression caused them to close. By 1902 economic conditions within Footscray began improving and community pressure revived banding in the area, resulting in the formation of the Footscray Municipal Band which later became the Footscray Municipal Military Band. Other bands also in the area were the Yarraville Citizens Brass Band (1910) and the Kingsville Brass Band (1914). By 1921 the YCBB and the KBB amalgamated to form Kingsville-Yarraville Citizens Band.
