Music programs have never been bigger than what they are at the moment. More Melbourne kids are learning brass instruments than ever before. The Melbourne International Brass Festival is growing in attendance every year. That's some of the facts. And here's some more - there were a number of people from outside the Army at the Bands in the Round concert - some of whom play in City Bands. And they heard the gospel and saw the words behind the music courtesy of modern technology. And one staff bandsmen even engaged in conversation about faith with a couple of from Moonee Valley City Band. So well done Ken on being up with the times and doing your bit to reach people with the Gospel.

One purpose is to worship God, and army brass bands definitely do this.<br /><br />Is one of the other purposes to entertain those already saved, or to attract new people to church ?<br /><br />Brass bands may have been innovative and packed them in 100 years ago, but I don't see it happening today, therefore it must be to entertain those already saved.

Is one of the other purposes to entertain those already saved, or to attract new people to church ?

Brass bands may have been innovative and packed them in 100 years ago, but I don't see it happening today, therefore it must be to entertain those already saved.
