Making Music
Music has always been integral to the ministry of The Salvation Army in Wellington. A report in The Salvation Army’s newspaper War Cry in 1895 speaks of the Wellington band marching through the main street: We march out 20 strong with a band of five instruments – a thing never heard of before. By 1906 the band was 16 players strong. Today, the band no longer exists, with more contemporary music played during Sunday services.
