Welcome

Welcome to the Melbourne Staff Band website.

The MSB will be kept busy during 2012 with visits to corps and concerts around Melbourne, country Victoria and a special weekend visit to Canberra.

Band Together For Africa on Saturday 2nd June will be a special music making event. The MSB will join with corps bands in a fundraising concert to benefit The Salvation Army’s primary school in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Staff Bandmaster Dr. Stephen Cobb (International Staff Band) will travel from London to be the guest conductor for the evening.

On 30th June/1st July the MSB will be in Canberra for the 70th anniversary commemorations of the sinking of the Montevideo Maru during WW2. Many members of the 2/22nd Battalion Band which was led by Arthur Gullidge were on board the ship.

The MSB will again conduct the Future Brass development weekend and participate in the Melbourne International Festival of Brass.

We hope that you will be able to hear the band ‘live’ sometime during 2012, if not, why don’t you buy a CD recording!

Chronicles - Released!!

This recording coincides with the band’s UK tour culminating in the grand festival at the Royal Albert Hall to mark the ISB’s 120th Anniversary in June 2011. The disc becomes a mighty paean of praise and worship with the band presenting a varied program built on Christian songs of every era arranged by some of the Army’s finest composers. It’s an exciting almost exclusively fresh repertoire that will gladden and entertain as well as uplift and inspire.
