The minutes of the Arkona Masonic Lodge in 1876 noted that the Arkona Brass Band led the way on their march to Rock Glen. The band played every summer Saturday evening at the bandstand (where the Arkona Garage is located now). They played concerts on national holidays, sometimes partnering with bands from Forest, Parkhill, Watford, or Thedford. Financial support came from the village council.
