Following seven years of excellent service to the Canada and Bermuda Territory , the Bearcrofts returned to England in 1976, leaving behind an exciting, maturing Staff Band. The next bandmaster was also from England - a tall, slim Captain Robert Redhead - who arrived along with his wife, Gwen, and daughters Joanne and Corinne. Robert had been working in the International Music Editorial Department and was already well known for his band and vocal compositions. What a tremendous contribution the Redheads were to make in the years to come not only to the Canadian Staff Band but to the Canada and Bermuda Territory.

Bandmaster Redhead, like Bandmaster Bearcroft, added many compositions to the CSB's repertoire, while Gwen was prominent in her contribution to drama. Together they wrote two full-length stage musicals, Chains of Gold and Ruth. Inevitably, many of the more familiar songs were made into band arrangements and featured in CSB concerts.  

During this time, the band's ministry expanded throughout the territory and around the world. In 1979, the band participated in the first  Toronto Star Christmas Concert at St. Paul 's Anglican Church in Toronto , an event which has now become an annual highlight of the Christmas season. The band also continued to play for congress and commissioning events. In 1982, it helped the territory celebrate its 100th anniversary by participating in the  Centenary Congress and Commissioning in Winnipeg led by General Jarl Wahlstrom. It also made a valued contribution to the first Salvation Army festival held in Toronto 's brand new Roy Thomson Hall.

In addition to touring extensively throughout Canada and the United States during these years, the band also visited Holland , Germany , Switzerland and Italy , and in 1983 made a second trip to Great Britain .

Recordings from this time included New Horizons, The Sound of the Gospel, Reflections, To You at Christmastime, 1979 Tour of Europe, To You at Christmastime, With Sweet Accord (with the newly-formed International Staff Songsters), Reflections, 1983 Tour of Britain and  1985 Tour of New Zealand and Australia.
