Sept. 24, 2008 — Charlotte Amalie will be filled with the rousing music of the Salvation Army Pendel Brass Band and Singers Saturday as it rings out at 10 a.m. at Emancipation Garden, followed by a march down Main Street to the Army headquarters.
The performance highlights the Army's three-day fund drive for renovation of its St. Thomas headquarters on lower Main Street.
