New York Staff Band

New York Staff Band

Since 1887 the New York Staff Band has maintained the highest standards of musical practice and Christian ministry. As one of the nation’s oldest, continuous musical ensembles, the NYSB has rightfully been heralded as “America’s Foremost Brass Band.” Motivated by a love for Christ, the band’s interactions with culture stand as testimony to its consistent engagement and Christian witness and participates at the forefront between the sacred and the secular.

All members of the band are volunteers, even though many have studied at some of America’s finest music schools and conservatories. Members give freely in addition to their regular “day job” as either an employee of The Salvation Army or as a member of The Salvation Army clergy.
