Bandmaster, John Lam
Based in Toronto, the Canadian Staff Band of The Salvation Army has established a worldwide reputation for the finest in brass band playing. Wherever the group has travelled it has shown its ability to present clearly and convincingly the spirit and significance of great music.
As well as meeting the many demands upon its services in and around Toronto, the band travels extensively throughout Canada. Other North American engagements have included performances at Disney World in Florida and the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California. International tours have taken the band to Italy, Switzerland, Norway, Brazil, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. In June 2011, the CSB made its third visit to The Netherlands, Germany and London, England, to participate in an international brass band extravaganza featuring eight Salvation Army staff bands from around the world.
