The Wrzesnia Youth Wind Band /in Polish: 'Mlodziezowa Orkiestra Deta Wrzesinskiego Osrodka Kultury'/ came into being in October 1996. Its founder and the first conductor was Ludwig Gromadzinski. In 1998 the Orchestra achieved its first success - II place in the competition in Grodzisk Wielkopolski. Im April 1999 the Orchestra began its cooperation with the dance group 'Takt' conducted by Mariola Zalepa.

After the training camp in Kiekrz the new conductor became Jan Oczepa. In 2001 the Orchestra took part in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the strike of Wrzesnia Children and then in a competition in Grodzisk Wielkopolski where they won a special prize. Annual camps became a tradition. Teenagers not only relax then but also improve their musical skills. On 2 December there was the 5th anniversary of founding the Orchestra.

The most important event in 2002 was the first foreign concert - during the biggest Festival for Polish in Lithuania 'Kwiaty Polskie'. After a camp in Golabki, Orchestra started recording its first disc.

At the beginning of 2003 Jan Oczepa had to resign from being the conductor and Jacek Rybczynski replaced him. Owing to him, the Orchestra achieved its most important successes and development. Then the first record was made and the Orchestra began its cooperation with the dance group which is directed by Katarzyna Budzynska.
