Lansing, MI Concert

The CSB travelled by bus to Lansing, MI earlier today. The events of the weekend included a concert this evening and will conclude with a worship service tomorrow morning. The concert this evening was well attended at the beautiful South Church in Lansing. This venue came highly recommended to us by Bandmaster Himes who had been there when Lansing hosted the Melbourne Staff Band about 18 months ago. He was correct... the facility is beautiful and a good place to play.

So far we have been well hosted by Majors Robert and Alice Scott who are the Capital Area commanders for the Salvation Army. In addition to many from the local area it was great to see a number of people who travelled to Lansing from Detroit, Flint, Port Huron, Kalamazoo and Mt Clemens. I've probably missed a few other places.

The concert this evening was presented compliments of Dart Bank and for that we and the Salvation Army in the Capital Area are grateful.

Tomorrow (Sunday, March 30) we will participate in a 10:30 am worship service at Peoples Church in East Lansing before we take the bus back home.
