This summer, John Lam retires after 30 years of ministry with the Canadian Staff Band, including 17 years as bandmaster.

As he wraps up his time with the band, Lam reflects on his life and faith, from his life-transforming experience at National Music Camp, to a time of personal tragedy and how God has been faithful to him, to some of his most memorable experiences with the staff band, and why music is still critical to the Army’s mission today.
