By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent A group of eight young men and women presented a special musical treat Sunday evening to those who attended the Sacred Music Concert at Shavertown United Methodist Church. The Re-Creation, a private, non-profit group of four young men and four young women presented a selection of sacred music in a refreshing and unique presentation. The audience also had the pleasure of seeing and hearing one of the Back Mountain’s recent graduates, Judy Fitch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph N. Fitch, Jr. of Dallas. When Judy was a student at Dallas Senior High School, Hugh Brooks, director of Re-Creation, approached Mrs. Florence Sherwood, chorus director and asked if she had any possible talent for the group. Mrs. Sherwood said she had just the student for the group, Judy, who not only sang but danced. Judy auditioned for Brooks and was accepted. Following her graduation in June, 1985, Judy joined the group and since August of that year has been performing with Re-Creation. She plans to continue with the group until next August, when she will leave to return home and attend Wilkes College. Re-Creation, a privte, non-profit corporation was formed in 1976 by Brooks. The group’s staging is done by Brooks’ wife, Carolyn Brooks and the choreography by his daughter, Katie Brooks. Judy has traveled with the group to California and back, from New England to Florida, and visited 48 of the 50 states. The group’s primary goal is to visit Veterans Hospitals and entertain the patients. Before presenting their program, the youths visit the veterans in their rooms and try to talk to each person. “It gives you a wonderful feeling,” Ms. Fitch said. “When you talk to some of these patients and they tell you no one wants them, that they’re not interested in the musical, and later, you see them in the audience In addition to the sacred music concert such as the Re-Creation presented Sunday night at the Shavertown United Methodist Church, the group has other pro- grams available which include music for all ages and presented with style, mood, rhythm and beat tailored for any audience. They have musical selections from early Americana, Roaring 20’s, the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and the modern era with Country, Rock and Patriotic favorites. In all but the Sacred Music Concert, the group includes dance numbers in their programs and they always have something for everyone. All presentations are done in costume. Brooks composes most of the songs with the exception of several sacred selections. They try to involve the children in the audience and Judy sings a Children’s Song, written by Brooks especially for children. The group lives together as a family 24 hours daily. When not touring, the girls live in a mobile home, the men in a third floor apartment over the offices, and the Brooks in their home on the same property. When touring, they either camp, or stay with host families, or in motels provided through the cooperation of Howard Johnson. They perform every Sunday and last Sunday before arriving in Dallas about 5:30 p.m., they performed two concerts in Philadelphia. They set up their equipment themselves, with each one assigned specific duties and, when traveling, they eat all of their meals together. Judy loves touring with Re-Creation, but realizes that she must leave in August and get on with her education. She plans to major in mass communica- tions or public relations, if possible. Judy also hopes to have a band when she graduates from college. According to Judy, she is learning a lot about public relations, business and technical work and she is learning to make mental notes that will be useful in her future. “I’m getting an education money could never buy,” she said. “The traveling, meeting new people, coping with problems, dealing with others, management, Dallas Post/Charlot M.
