The members of the band are drawn from Salvation Army centres as far afield as Leeds, Manchester, Bristol, Norwich and Maidstone.

Famous quotes containing the word band:
“The band waked me with a serenade. How they improve! A fine band and what a life in a regiment! Their music is better than food and clothing to give spirit to the men.”

“And the heavy night hung dark
The hills and waters o’er,
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.”
