Entertainment Groups
The entertainment groups consist of Brass & Sass, Lady Bear Basketball Band, and Bear Mania Basketball Band.
Brass & Sass is a 16-member show band styled in the "Disney" tradition. A street parade, a "stand
and blow" concert, or an old-fashioned "concert-in-the-park" is easily presented by
this exciting star-spangled group! The group plays all varieties of music (marches,
rock, jazz, patriotic, etc.). The enthusiasm and energy of the group have made them
a favorite performer not only at banquets and conventions, but as a yearly regular
at the Ozark Empire Fair, at Disney World and frequently at Silver Dollar City as
well.
The Basketball Bands have often been referred to as the teams' "sixth man" or as the "secret weapon".
They have been the talk of the Missouri Valley Conference.
