Last night we had the privilege of watching and listening to our niece, Rachel play in the Blue Thunder Marching Band. The halftime show was good and the music was excellent. The game, well the football team was not so successful.
When I asked why the band didn’t play more to help bolster the team, the response was, “music doesn’t do much to help!”
Music plays an enormous role in our lives. Try watching a movie without sound. What would our movies be like without music setting the mood of the scene?
Music plays a huge role in the Scriptures. Think of how “The Walls of Jericho” fell. (See Joshua 6:20, Hebrews 11:30) Remember the prophesy announcing Christ’s Second Coming (See Matthew 24:31, 1Thessalonians 4:16) when the trumpet shall sound.
Rachel, in answer to your question about a “band” in the Scriptures. The word “band” is mentioned 66 times in the Bible, though most of those are not related to music. My favorite “band” scripture is “Cornelius in an Italian Band,” Acts 10:1. I wonder if Cornelius played the coronet.
1 There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
(Acts 10:1)
