Die Universal Brass Band (UBB) entwickelte sich im Jahre 1981 aus dem in den 70er-Jahren bekannten Posaunenchor Eschlikon. Seit dem Jahr 2000 ist die Universal Brass Band Mitglied des St. Galler Blasmusikverbandes, und spätestens nach der Verlegung des Vereinssitzes nach Wil darf sich die Band sicherlich als waschechter Wiler Verein bezeichnen.

Poor quality Babel Fish Translation:

Universal the Brass volume (UBB) developed in the year 1981 from in
the 70’s-years admitted trombone choir Eschlikon. Since the year 2000
those is universal Brass volume member of the pc. Galler of blowing
music federation, and at the latest after the transfer of the
association seat after Wil the volume may itself surely call
washgenuine Wiler association.
