As a Salvation Army band we play most Sunday evenings for the meeting, together with outreach activities 3 Sundays out of 4 - usually indoors in the winter, street-based activities when the weather is better. Most Sundays our contribution is one piece during the meeting, and music beforehand and afterwards, that may be hymn tunes or may be a more substantial piece, in addition to accompanying the congregational singing. On the last Sunday in the month we have a Songs of Praise night, which often will feature 3 or 4 band items, some of which may be solos.
Acitivities away from the hall usually include one or two weekend visits to other Salvation Army centres, and a variable number of Saturday concerts, usually fairly local, and sometimes consisting of Last Night of the Proms style evenings. We are also asked to take part in various civic events, including the Mayor's annual carol service and the Armistice parade.
