The North American Brass Company began it's performance "life" by going into the school systems around the country presenting shows that would entertain and educate.  Much of this was done through grants for the arts in education.

We have several different shows that we have done with a great deal of success and they have been well received by both student and faculty populations.

Our most popular show is "Go For The Gold", which is ideal for Olympic years.  We have both a Summer and Winter script for this show so it becomes very popular about every other year, yet is very entertaining anytime.

We use the Olympics theme to demonstrate our instruments, teach a bit about the countries involved and the history of these countries and teach about some of the events that are part of the Olympics.  We also correlate being an athlete to being a musician and what it takes to do either of these.  We relate how it works for a team environment and model fun practices and behaviors in our  performances.

The "Go For The Gold" is very upbeat and positive and the show lasts for about 45 minutes.  It is a very arduous program, requiring a great deal of strength to perform.  We can only schedule 3 performances of it in any one day due to the very physical nature of the show.

"Go For The Gold" is loosely scripted, which allows us to add a great deal of impromptu action and humor to the performances.  It also keeps it fresh for us when we are doing this show frequently.
