Start of 2009-10 Season

It's been 85 days since the CSB last gathered together at the retirement of our Executive Officer following the service of appointments and commissioning of new officers. In those 85 days CSB members have been all over the globe vacationing and ministering with other ministries other than the CSB.

But, this evening, we will gather together again. We have one rehearsal this evening prior to being on duty for the public welcome of the cadets on Friday evening. The meeting will be at Mayfair Community Church at 7:00 pm on Friday, September 11, 2009. Those who are unable to attend in person are welcome to watch the service live via the Internet by going to http://www.salvationarmymedia.org.

Those interested in personnel changes in the band may want to know that Alan Nelson (cornet), James Beardsley (cornet) and Jim Olson (trombone) have resigned their chairs for this season. These are in addition to the retirement of Lt. Colonel Mickey McLaren, our previous Executive Officer.

Territorial administration have appointed Lt. Colonel Richard Vander Weele as our new Executive Officer. In addition, Lt. Colonel Merle Heatwole and Captain John Pook will be taking up positions in the cornet section of the band. For now, the trombone vacancy will remain vacant.
