“Brass Bands of The Salvation Army” takes a look at the beginnings, development and purpose of Army bands, from the first brass group formed by Charles William Fry at Salisbury, England in 1878, through to the near professional standards achieved by some bands today. But there are still hundreds of bands that perform with just a handful of dedicated players at their local town or village corps.
With the help of contributing authors from other countries, band historian Ronald W. Holz takes a look into the mission and music of Army bands and then asks ‘What does the future hold for the bands of today?’

Theme Magazine —from The Salvation Army Canada and Bermuda Territory— has republished some thoughts from Staff Bandmaster Brian Burditt on being an effective brass teacher.
The teacher’s responsibility is threefold: observation, diagnosis and prescription.
First, the teacher observes the student and his performance problems; second, he thoroughly analyzes the problem; and third, he prescribes a remedy to solve the problem, which, with patience and careful practice, will in time correct the difficulty.

Podcasting involves the creation of radio-style programs on a wide range of topics, including music and audio commentary, which are posted on the Internet for downloading to a listener’s own iPod or MP3 player. The basic idea is that instead of listening to radio shows over the airwaves, a listener can download the shows that they are really interested in, and listen to them when they want. Brasscast music is licensed through The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.
Musical numbers played by the bands include
* The Bells of Christmas by Bulla
* Crusaders by Goffin
* O Holy Night by Bulla
* The Holly and the Ivy by Bulla
These numbers are interspersed with banding snippets and news about brass bands.
