The Salvation Army Southern New England(NY Staff Band plays at Havana Corps)Since America opened the door to easier travel with the communist island of Cuba over a year ago, The Salvation Army’s Eastern Territory NY Staff Band wanted to experience the Lord’s work with its people. Major Steve Ditmer, Divisional Music Director and Ken Kirby, Deputy Band Master of the Manchester Citadel Band were among those who traveled to Cuba in February of this year. The Salvation Army, an Evangelical part of the Universal Christian Church, started in Cuba in the early 1. In 1. 95. 9, upon signs of a revolution, the last overseas officer left the island. Cuba’s people were without contact to The Salvation Army in the US, but continued the Army’s work underground, with minimal ties to Latin America North Territory, which is based in Costa Rica. Today, twenty- four officers of The Salvation Army in Cuba operate twenty- two corps and two social service projects – a senior home, and an addiction recovery program. They even have their own training college now with eighteen cadets. Cuba does recognize established religions, and allows them to practice openly now, with certain restrictions. Every church is limited to only one service per day. No social work is done openly there like it is here in United States. All social work is done by the government, which issues basic monthly food rations to its people. The cost for buying more than the allotted rations is very expensive. Compounding the problem, is low monthly income, averaging only twenty dollars. When Ditmer and Kirby arrived at the Cuban airport, two luggage carousels were surrounded by shrink- wrapped bails of personal belongings marked on the outside with magic marker. These items, including boxed flat- screened TVs, were waiting to be recovered by their owners. Musical instruments are not allowed to be sold or left behind in the country. Of course, a guitar is a native Latin American instrument, and must be very valuable in Cuba.”Before leaving Connecticut, Ken Kirby knew his visit to Cuba would be like going back in time. He knew the country had been encapsulated for some time, but didn’t know what that would actually look like. I was surprised to see as much deferred maintenance as there was.” At the same time, Ditmer was surprised to see the amount of European and Asian exchange. New cars were very much European or Asian based. The only American cars were old models that would have been from the very affluent time in the mid- fifties and early sixties. On the streets of Cuba, people were very open and welcoming. Cuban Salvation Army officers were especially welcoming, having not been with other Salvationists outside the country for quite some time. Although the language barrier hindered conversations, a bond was felt through their mutual love of Jesus Christ. Access to the Concertina Museum Collection Digital Archive.

The hotel in which the band stayed was built in the 1. It was absolutely pristine and immaculate inside, maintained as if it was in a time capsule. The bathrooms were ordained with rich white tiles and porcelain fixtures. On the main level, was a very long, central corridor with dark woodwork in the high ceilings that offset the cheerful yellow archways. At the end, an entire glass wall with etching on it led into the dining room, where a classically trained quartet performed, and heavy China plates were etched in gold. The temperature was a comfortable seventy degrees, tropical but not hot. It was a welcome change from the minus six degrees left behind in Connecticut. In the evening, a cool breeze from the ocean blew through the lobby and veranda where a four- piece ensemble played. Saturday morning, band members left the beauty of the hotel and were brought down the street, through run- down neighborhoods to The Salvation Army. TROMBONE HISTORY: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY.
