The Salinas Corps, California, Young People's Music Camp
| Bonna and I spent a month at the Salvation Army Salinas Corps in California where we taught about 35 children how to play the cornet. |
|
| In
the Salvation Army Salinas Corps, in California, we found that
a play was being produced, but rehearsals had been going on for
several months with no end in sight. With a little nudge from
Bonna, the play rehearsals ended and the play was put on.

The girls were taught to play tambourines. Lizzie is such a great teacher
|
 |
We rented about 35 cornets. This was the first day the first group held their cornets. I still cringe seeing this. I was just hoping we could get through this without someone dropping a cornet. We got a good deal on the rental because the owner of the music store in Salinas was the son of Salvation Army officers.

 |
We sat the kids down with their cornets and taught them how to hold them, pick them up on cure to play and blow a note, then put them back down properly on their laps. I was still worried about somebody dropping a cornet. The Salvation Army would not be happy buying a bent cornet.

 |
"In the open air we play our happy song...." And that song would be ....... "Hot Cross Buns" of course. Finally, the kids could all play a couple of tunes. We actually put on the play, the girls played tambourines accompanied by a recorded band and everybody played a few tunes on the cornet. Voila!! A band is born! Notice that the danger of dropping a cornet is dissipating rapidly. |
