One Day Class to Honor
Bob Rice, 32° KCCH
Master of Kadosh, Steve Jacobsen, has chosen to honor Bob Rice, 32° KCCH at our One Day Class to be held next Saturday June 28, 2014. Bob was very active in both the Scottish Rite and Za Ga Zig Shrine for many years. He was well known for recruiting new members in both organizations.
This reunion will feature 7 of the Scottish Rite degrees and our first ever presentation of the 19th Degree, Grand Pontiff. In addition, to the mandatory degrees (4, 14, 18, 30, 32) the 31st degree, Inspector Inquisitor, will be a part of the reunion schedule. It features an Egyptian motif and causes the candidate to consider his mortality in a very dramatic way. The entire reunion schedule for next weekend is below.
Following the reunion we will have a social hour with
hors de oeuvres and toasts to honor our new class members. There will also be a special toast commemorating the 700th Anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn. The Battle of Bannockburn has a special connection to the Scottish Rite. This battle resulted in the creation of the Knight of St. Andrew, which is our 29th degree.

More About The Iowa 34th Army Band:
Scrap Metal
 Formed in 2012, Scrap Metal is the newest group to the 34th Army Band. They are a modern New Orleans style Brass Band that plays a large variety of music, from current pop tunes to 80s and 90s rock, blues, funk, Ska and riot jazz - there's really no limit to what they'll attempt. While the members of Scrap Metal are part-time soldiers and musicians, their approach to music and level of professionalism is unmatched. They pride themselves on their eclectic music selection, improvisation, and most importantly their fun-loving, high-energy performance. The result is a bending of genres, vocals and the best songs in the pop idiom. Top-notch showmanship and wide appeal inspire patriotism which is at the core of the 34th Army Band. It should be noted that they claim no pride whatsoever in their dance skills. |
