Bring ENERGY to your opening ceremony

Let Cookin' With Brass kick off your conference with a dynamic musical set as people take their seats or as a short vignette to pump up the room followed by National Anthems in a traditional brass band style.

The band’s playlist features a medley of classic Canadian songs including “If You Read My Mind”, “Heaven” and the iconic hit “Working for the Weekend. Cookin’ With Brass also performs a medley of contemporary Canadian chart toppers including “I Just Haven’t Met You Yet”, “I Can’t Feel My Face” and a horn infused version of “Sorry”.

The band’s Canada jackets include design elements that represent Indigenous artistry within our country’s sporting identity. Created in collaboration with Shelby Gagnon, a 2-Spirit Anishinaabe / Cree artist the jackets feature a reimagined maple leaf, hummingbird-themed motifs on the sleeves and inner collar, and symbols celebrating plant life and holistic wellness on Turtle Island.
