About Askim Band

Askim Band, Salvation Army, has its origins back to 1905.  However, as from 1935 the brassband has existed continously.

We are about 20 amateur musicians, a blend of all ages from 19 years up to 89 years.

The band plays a variety of different styles mostly Salvation Army music, and functions as "the organ" at the services and different meetings.

Bandmaster since 1995 is Eiliv Herikstad, internationally well-known as composer, arranger and instructor.

Askim Band operates mostly regionally in the town Askim, Norway, 55 km south-east of Oslo, but partcipates also in SA national congresses.  Furthermore, annual tours are part of its programme, both domestically and internationally through the Salvation Army network. The band has been travelling to England (1993 and 2002), Spain (1995), and Newfoundland, Canada (2007).
