Senior Band
About the Band
In 1888 Captain Margaret Berry formed the first Band under the leadership of Bandmaster Reuben Dennis. Over its 100 years of consistent service the Band has had 13 different leaders. The Band has toured England extensively conducting weekend ministry at other Salvation Army locations. Highlights include an Easter campaign to Vlaardingen, Holland in 1997 and one to Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1994. The current Band numbers 40 strong with an average age of approximately 63, men and women representing a broad span of ages, backgrounds and personalities. Amongst the band you will find those involved in accounting, banking, computing, civil service, the police, insurance, engineering, hairdressing and plumbing plus many more occupations including those who have entered the retirement profession!
The Band is involved in the full range of corps activity and is proud that its members can be found in positions of leadership in other sections and activities within the corps. It has been, and continues to be, at the forefront of new ventures and activities within the corps. The Band also conducts regular services and concerts in the city and its surrounds assisting others with fund raising etc. It is in particular demand over the Christmas period when it is responsible for spreading the message from small groups of listeners to thousands in the Cathedral on Christmas Eve, a highlight for all.
