Concerts and other Performances
Introduction
Like all other Salvation Army bands around the world, the Medan band performs regularly at community and church events in the city, especially at Christmas. Since its establishment in 1987, the band has also travelled to Jakarta three times! On one of these visits, which was organised to coincide with the 100 years of Salvation Army work in Indonesia, General Eva Burrows (the Salvation Army's international leader at the time) named the band "The General's Band". Since then, the Medan band has carried the moniker with pride.
This section contains pictures of some of the band's achievements in Jakarta during the 1990s and also the November 2004 concert in Medan. Because the large number of pictures could slow download times, I have decided to avoid putting everything on one web page.
There was also a very successful concert in Medan in November 2008. You can read about this in the band's "Dazzling show of good governance" in the focus section.
