WHEREVER there’s a Salvation Army Corps there’s sooner or later a band, and the Greymouth Citadel Salvation Army Band, heard recently from 3YZ, has been in Greymouth almost as long as the Army—a long time as it happens, for the Band will be 70 next year. In the middle of the front row in this picture is Bandmaster M. Best, who took up his present post 21 years ago. He is recognised as one of the foremost Atmy Band trainers in the country—a man of exceptional patience with young people. Able soloists in the Band include Deputy-Bandmaster Will Tones, cornet (at left end of back row), Bandsman A. Tones, euphonium. (second from right in front row), and Band Sergeant George Simon, trombone (at right end of back row). Captain G. Beale, Commanding Officer of the Corps, who plays E flat bass, is immediately behind Bandmaster Best. The Band owes much of its present strength to the arrival, about 30 years ago, of 10 members of one family and their children.
