MAPLEWOOD, Minn. — Editor’s note: This story originally aired in March of 2015. Ten years later, Tony Armstrong has picked up his pace. Tony now performs about 20 gigs a month, mostly at adult day programs throughout the entire Twin Cities area. In between, Tony picks up some nursing home performances, too. From time to time, Tony also joins three other people with cognitive disabilities in a band called "The Positones." Now 32, Tony's still happiest when he's on a stage.

FERGUS FALLS, Minn. — On an early spring late afternoon, kids in Fergus Falls mount their bikes in the parking lot of the local YMCA. A police sergeant gives instructions as bikers loop around traffic cones. Nearby, a slender man with a gentle demeanor fills a table with shiny blue helmets. This is not Mike Heikes’ first bike rodeo. “I've been doing it most of my adult life,” he says. During the next two hours, Mike will hand out to kids — free of charge — a couple dozen helmets.

NEW HOPE, Minn. — Like songs, school years have beginnings. But last fall, no one in the Cooper High School band could have predicted the stanzas that would follow. “One of my earliest memories of my father is being on his shoulders while he walked through his marching band,” Markus Hahn, the Cooper band director, says. In October, Markus’ parents, Richard and Jeanette Hahn, were driving to a funeral when they died in a collision with a dump truck.
