Many jumped at the chance to renew friendships and perform together again under the direction of the Colorado program's creator, Masonic Grand Musician Marvin Feldman.Meeting on two Saturday afternoons prior to the concert, the band had only four hours of rehearsal time together.Students say Feldman, a retired band instructor, has a gift of drawing the best performance from each student and making sure they all have a good time in the process.He put together a varied selection for the band to perform ("America the Beautiful," "Battle Cry of Freedom," "God Be With You," "Redneck Woman," "Rawhide," and the theme songs for each branch of the military).Trombonist Jeff Henton put aside his instrument to walk out among the tables and sing "If I Were A Rich Man" (from musical, "Fiddler on the Roof"), with great projection and expression.

Feldman's band program (Feldman was awarded the "Mason of the Year Award" for his commitment and tireless work) is only one endeavor.Black Hawk Lodge 11 sponsored a free public concert in 2004.
