USA East Music BULLETIN - WINTER 2019/20 - ISSUE 4 | Page 2

A LIFE WELL LIVED FOR GOD...
On Wednesday, February 5th, Thomas
Scheibner, Assistant Territorial Music
Secretary, was Promoted to Glory suddenly.
Tom, for more than 40 years and currently as
the Assistant Territorial Music Secretary, has
been the backbone of the USA East Music
Department. You could ask him a question
about SA music, what band played what
piece in what venue from dozens of years
ago, or do you remember when?.. and he
had an answer… and it always was the
correct answer!
After coming to the Army as a young
teenager through Star Lake Musicamp, he
never looked back and steadily became
a brilliant trombonist, percussionist,
composer, Bandmaster and Songster Leader.
Tom would go on to be a part of Star Lake
Musicamp for 51 consecutive years!! He is
known around the Salvation Army world,
not only for his music knowledge and skills,
but most importantly because he was a man
of God who knew His Savior personally.
He was a man who showed kindness and
sincere concern for his friends and a man
who loved his family above and beyond
anything else. We will miss Tom, the
Salvation Army world will miss Tom, but can
be assured today that Tom is now where he
believed he would always be someday, in
Christ’s presence. ■
