A capacity crowd gathered in the hall at Alexandria Citadel on the afternoon of Sunday, 18 July 2010 to salute Bandmaster James B. Anderson and Christina Anderson. On the platform, the National Capital Band, enhanced by a number of former players and guests, provided the musical backing for the event. With the title “From Strength to Strength”, the afternoon was a praise-filled celebration of the impact that these two Spirit-filled people have had during their eighteen years of ministry in the United States.

Major James Allison, Executive Officer, has announced that Dr. Steve Kellner has been appointed as Bandmaster of the National Capital Band.
Kellner's assumption of the baton, following Bandmaster James Anderson, who announced his retirement at the annual Band Dinner in May, coincides with his employment as an Assistant Divisional Music Director at the Salvation Army's divisional headquarters in Washington, D.C.
He brings a high level of musicianship and knowledge to the podium, having spent 25 years as a member of military bands, including 11 years as the principal euphonium with the United States Marine Band, known as the "President's Own". He holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Catholic University in Washington and is an instructor at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore and the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland.
The band looks forward to entering a new era under the leadership of Bandmaster Kellner.

Traditionally, the National Capital Band ends each season with a dinner for the members and guests. In 2010, the dinner was held two weeks early because the last event of the season is a ministry trip to Scranton, Pennsylvania at the end of May. This year’s dinner was held at Maggiano’s in the Tysons Galleria. Notable events on the evening included the award of Bob’s Big Note, a farewell presentation to Captain Mike Harris, and the announcement by Bandmaster James Anderson that he is retiring at the end of this season.

2010 marks the 85th anniversary of the National Capital Band. As the Band Board was discussing how best to celebrate this milestone, the idea developed to have a typical ministry weekend in the National Capital Area. Although the band is based in Washington, most of the ministry weekends are held in other parts of the division. The weekend consisted of a brass clinic held on Saturday morning at Alexandria Citadel, a joint concert with The Dominion Brass at McLean Presbyterian Church on Saturday night, and Sunday morning worship at the Solomon G. Brown (Southeast) Corps in the District of Columbia.
Activities on this weekend were extensive, so the report has been broken into separate articles:
Brass Clinic at Alexandria
Bravo Brass! Concert with The Dominion Brass
Worship Service at Solomon G. Brown (Southeast) Corps

The finale of the National Capital Band’s Bravo Brass! Weekend was a worship service on Sunday, 11 April 2010, at the Solomon G. Brown (Southeast) Corps in Washington, DC. Located in the heart of the Anacostia neighborhood in the Southeast quadrant of the city, this is the newest corps building in the metro area, with the corps occupying two floors of a five-story building, with the rest of the building occupied by paying business tenants, an innovative arrangement for a Salvation Army building.
