There is a great prize on offer from 4BR of a pair of the latest brass band DVDs on offer if you can answer our special Boxing Day quiz question.

We have ‘A Masterclass in Brass’ by the David Childs and ‘I’ll Fight Congress – Highlights from the Salvation Army 2012 Congress’ at the Royal Albert Hall earlier this year.

Then for something a little bit different, highlights of the ISB, youth choirs and all things Salvationist in action. That should get you thinking too...
