Here's one to throw back.
As a former Salvationist involved in the contesting scene for only the last
2 1/2 years I was discussing contesting with my brother, a Salvation Army
officer (minister, for the uninitiated), telling him that contests were just
like a  S.A. congress music festival except that your band received an
official score card. His question, "How do you know that your (S.A.) band
didn't receive an official score card?" (I think the good captain was
speaking "tongue-in-cheek".)
I guess what he means is that a S.A. band doesn't get to play at a congress
festival unless they are either top notch or headquarters decides that your
division should have some representation this year.

Lindsay Price,
Solo Horn,
City of Greater Dandenong Band,
Australia.

P.S.
I still think the Salvation Army have some fantastic bands, whatever the
motivation of either the individual members or the group as a whole.
