Brendon,

Surely the main priority of a Salvationist bandsman is to spread the word of
God and to use your musical talents to help you do this.  The Salvation Army
is NOT primararily a Brass Band, but a CHURCH, so to say that the Salvation
Army has lost many of their people just because they failed to use their
musical talents in a way that you think they should, in my mind goes to
prove that these people were in the Salvation Army for all the wrong reasons
anyhow. I currently play in my local Salvation Army band (which consists of
about 5 players on a good day!) and I can guarantee you that this does not
use my talents to the full, but I also play in my local town band where I
get a great  deal of satisfaction. However, I would not dream of leaving the
Salvation Army just on the basis of music alone.

Michelle
