From May to August each summer the Young Performing Stage Missionaries perform in five daily/evening musical shows: “Just Plain Anna Amanda” (with a puppet pre-show), “High Hopes and River Boats”, “Rendezvous in Old Nauvoo” and “Sunset By the Mississippi” (performed on the Nauvoo Outdoor Stage.) The stage missionaries are supported by three Young Performing Technical Missionaries, who assist with sound, lighting, and stage management.

 The Nauvoo Brass Band is a commemoration of the original Nauvoo Brass Band, a popular and inspiring musical group during Old Nauvoo times. From May to August each summer the Nauvoo Brass Band performs in daily/evening musical shows, on a Band Wagon through the streets of Nauvoo, in front of the Cultural Hall, at “Sunset By the Mississippi” and at the Nauvoo Pageant.
