Christmas Carolling
Every year Salvation Army chaplains arrange for small ensembles to visit Salvation Army homeless shelters, community projects, youth refuges, therapeutic communities and prisons to play Christmas carols.
Christmas can be a very difficult time for some of these people and often carolling connects with them and brings hope. It often is a catalyst to conversations about new possibilities and new beginnings
We are in desperate need of brass and wood wind players that can play in a small ensemble and have availability over the December period. It may be for an hour, a day, or a week (depending on your availability) and groups generally consist of four or five people each playing a separate part.
We are seeking volunteers only as we have no capacity to pay you for assisting.
What do we provide?
We will provide you with a wonderful opportunity to bring some Christmas cheer for people doing it tough. Hopefully its also a bit of a hoot to be part of a small music ensemble that is relaxed and joyful.
We will provide the music and, at most places, refreshments are provided. Music used is The Salvation Army “Carolers Favorites” books as shown. We can also pay for car parking when required.
