MOST MEMORABLE TROOPER MOMENT: |
Loads!! My little sayings - Aaaaay, Get off that tank!, Sinnngg, The Crrryystaaaaal Catheedraal. Marching through the narrow streets of Winchester (marching anywhere with this band is a thrill and a priviledge), The Rosebowl Parade, being conducted by Bill Himes in 'Procession to Covenant', marching along the street to play to Jill Bearcroft, big band night at Eastbourne bandstand, Ilfracombe Chicken! The efforts of all the smaller corps who have hosted us i.e. Deal, being a source of encouragement to many Salvationists and a witness to people who otherwise would not see The Salvation Army across the UK. |
