Under the leadership of Ken Cook, Boscombe Band commenced two christmas engagements that were to become annual events. On December 21st 1966 they made an historic visit to Christchurch Priory, as recorded in the Bournemouth Echo:

<div class="historyquote">

For the first time in history the Priory Church, Christchurch, resounded
to the sound of Salvation Army brass bands, when the massed bands of Boscombe
and Christchurch, together with their combined singing companies and songsters,
presented a carol concert at the Church. The event drew one of the largest
congregations ever known to the church - some people had to be turned away -
and raised £85 for Christchurch Hospital League of Friends. The 40 musicians of the Boscombe Citadel Band, under Bandmaster Kenneth Cook, played a selection of Christmas music including '''Christmas in Europe''' and the tone poem '''The Kingdom Triumphant'''.

</div>

This was to be the first of 15 such carol concerts, with the Priory being
packed to capacity on each occasion. In recent years this annual event has been re-instated into the band calendar and it continues to draw a large audience.

In December 1968 Moordown Baptist Church was the venue for another carol
concert, and the band continued to perform this annual engagement for a number of years. The band also participated in numerous St. Cecilia festivals, and on
several occasions led important processions through the streets of Bournemouth.

On 8th February 1967, they led the funeral cortege of General Albert Orsborn
from the Chapel of Rest to Boscombe Citadel, where the Chief of Staff, Commissioner Wickberg, led an impressive funeral service. In May they marched delegates from the Independent Order of Odd Fellows conference to the Winter Gardens, where Ceneral Coutts was the guest preacher at their conference service. In October 1970 they led the annual Hospital Birthday procession from the Royal National Hospital.

A first appearance was made by the band at Dean Court football ground on
7th October 1967 when their playing raised £71 14s. 0d. for the Salvation
Bond scheme. They returned in December to earn £48 for their carolling effort.

Major festivals in which the band took part included the Centenary Festival
of Praise at the Winter Gardens in May 1965, which centred around Colonel Ivy
Mawby's pageant <font class="historytitle">Salvation Century</font> and a <font class="historytitle">Bands of the South</font> programme at Portsmouth Guildhall on 9th July 1968. Here they played <font class="historytitle">Post Bellum Rhapsody</font> and the bandmaster's own cornet trio <font Class="historytitle">Trumpeters</font> as well as rendering further massed items
with Portsmouth and Worthing bands.

The Punshon Memorial Church invited the band to lead an after-church holidaymaker's service and Sunday 19th July, 1970 saw the commencement of another engagement that became an annual fixture in the band calender.
