The Brain Show

Back to the Books!

2010-08-29T21:05:00.004-04:00

Hello everyone, Chris here!

It's been several months since my last post to The Brain Show blog and there's a good reason for that. My travels since the end of the school year have taken me to Massachusetts, Ohio, Indiana, Connecticut and all over New York! It's been a busy summer on the road and in the the Brain Show office!

Lots of hard work and dedication go into The Brain Show every year. This year is no exception. With new questions, sound clips and dances, we are all very excited for this upcoming school year. Don't forget to call our office toll free to find out information on bringing The Brain Show to your school or function. Jeff and Beverly will be very happy to hear from our current clients and even speak to those who would like to become part of The Brain Show Family!

The new school year is upon us and you may be asking, "What is new with The Brain Show this year?" Let me tell you some fun and exciting changes! We start with a new set design and back drop! Special thanks to Arielle for her hard work and dedication in the "hand" drawing of this new feature! In previous years you may have collected the "Brain Show Maniac" medal. A new medal is here and we are excited to roll it out this upcoming school year. If you are chosen as a contestant to participate in the first round of The Brain Show, you will have the chance to win a new Brain Show Tee-Shirt!

Thanks to all of our friends and family who have had The Brain Show at your school year after year. We look forward to providing you with quality "Education Entertainment". Don't forget to call the office after your schools performances and ask about our "Loyalty Lock-In".

I hope to be out on the road and get the chance to see some familiar faces and meet some new friends. Thanks again and see you soon!

Education Vacation!

2010-05-16T12:55:00.002-04:00

Hey everyone, Chris here again. Sorry for the delay in postings but we have been VERY busy on the road and traveling all over the United States bringing our Educational Assemblies to different parts of the Country! After my vacation in March, I have been busy with performing, training, and producing our new assembly for the next school year. Exciting and new things are coming to "The Brain Show" for the 2010-2011 School year!
You still have time to book your show for this school year as well as the Summer Camp Season! Even though the school year ends, "The Brain Show" continues to travel and perform throughout the summer at various places. It's a non-stop job of fun and excitement!
A special thanks to Arielle for her hard work and dedication in creating a "new" Brain Show T-Shirt as well as working on the design of next years set for our show. Jeff and Beverly are constantly keeping busy in the office with marketing and creating a new website that will include a spot for purchasing "Brain Show" merchandise! Did you hear that? You are now going to be able to purchase "Brain Show" medallions and T-Shirts online as well as other fun exciting things!
Keeping busy with training, Chris, our new host, is learning quickly and is very excited to become part of our Brain Show Family! We are always expanding and looking for new hosts to travel on the road and take our program to new parts of the Country. Speaking of taking the show to different parts of the United States, I have to give a big shout out to my new friends in Texas! What a fun and exciting 10 day trip I took. The weather was a cool 98 degrees! Actually it was warm and nice. So nice I even had some time to myself to lay by the pool and try to catch a few rays of sun! What a beautiful trip it was.
So here's to you, our loyal fans and friends of "The Brain Show"! May our paths meet again and be filled with many memories, laughs and cheers! See you all soon!

-Chris.

PS. When booking "The Brain Show", be sure to mention Code: (C01) for your chance to have me perform at your venue!

Spring has Sprung

2010-03-21T10:32:00.003-04:00

While traveling here and there on the road, I have noticed a definite change in temperature! Things are looking good! On my recent travels the temperature hit a nice 78 degrees! I was about to break out my swim suit, shorts and tank top until I realized....we are still in March! Hopefully this trend will continue!
Special thanks to Diane, Toni and Brian for having me back again this year to your schools! What a great school district and great group of kids that you have. It's always fun to be in your area.
As we continue to train our new hosts, The Brain Show is always looking for fun, exciting and energetic people to join our wonderful family! Jeff, Beverly, Chris, Arielle and Chris R. want to thank you for thinking of us as we bring The Brain Show to many schools across the United States! Exploring new areas is always fun to do!
Don't forget you still have time to book your show for the 2010-2011 school year. Our phones have been ringing off the hook and Jeff and Beverly have been VERY busy in the office keeping up with contracts and phone calls. I would like to thank them for all of the hard work that they do for us and for the company. It's nice to be involved in such a tight-knit family environment!
Thanks to Arielle for all of the hard work that you do. Training for months and now traveling on the road, bringing top-notch assemblies to schools across the Country! Your hard work and dedication is GREATLY appreciated.
It's finally time for me to take some time off and recharge my batteries. I am looking forward to taking a week of vacation next week and spending some time with my Family and Friends. Don't worry though, The Brain Show will always be on my mind.

On the Road again!

2010-02-27T08:45:00.003-05:00

Hey everyone, Chris here......

Another week has gone by and more of that fun white stuff has fallen from the sky! Don't worry, one way or another The Brain Show will make it to your school!
My Travels this past week have taken me to some fun places to reunite with some familiar faces!
Thanks Center and Memorial schools as well as Jefferson, Estis and Memorial! A big shout out to Denise and Patty for having us back again this year at your schools!
Luckily this week I was out of the state of PA and on the road to avoid the massive snow storm(s) that have blanketed our area. As Jeff and Beverly try to dig their way out of the office (I believe over 2 feet of snow has fallen in the past week)they also have been very busy with rescheduling shows that have had to postpone until a later date! I would like to thank them for all that they do for us at The Brain Show. We are a close knit family who takes care of each other on a daily basis!
So hopefully the groundhog was not correct this year and winter will be over sooner than later!
We are also gearing up for another great summer with camps. Bookings are already coming in for July and August as well as many schools re-booking for the next school year! We are blessed to have such great clients and friends over the past years!
Keep watching for some fun and exciting facts about The Brain Show coming in my next post!
Stay safe and most of all stay warm!

-Chris

Hey everyone, it's Arielle!

Just wanted to send a shout out to all of my Catholic schools from last week:

M. Teresa Regional, Our Lady of Peace, Incarnation - St. James, Our Lady Mt. Carmel and St. Joseph... Thank you all very much for having me at your schools during such a joyous week!

A special shout out to Ms. Ferrick & the "houses" that competed for points at MTR: St. Aquinas took the round, followed closely by St. Seton & St. Jude. Congratulations to all of you!

Also, thank you to South Side Elementary's wonderful students and staff! You made my day very enjoyable, thank you to Mrs. Fowlkes & Mrs. Womack who answered my constant calls! Hope to see you soon for some family fun!

Everyone at the Brain Show appreciates your efforts & enthusiasm, especially when it comes to communication about wintry weather or other obstacles. We are here for YOU. The northeast has seen a tremendous amount of weather (record breaking in some places) in the past couple of weeks, we hope that you are safe and enjoying the beauty of nature!

Also an inter-office thank you to Chris and Jeff, who spent a great deal of time building my orange show! It looks (and works) fantastic!

Brain Show Fun Fact:

I mentioned that my show is orange; well it's not ALL orange... All of our shows are color coded according to host for organizational purposes.

PS I'm working on a new T-shirt design for the Brain Show, check back frequently for updates!

The Brain Show takes over Catholic Schools week!

2010-02-08T17:53:00.003-05:00

Hey Gang, Chris here! As our travels came to an end this past week during Catholic Schools week, I take time to look back at all of the fun that we had. I would like to start off by thanking all of my new friends at Academy of Our Lady, St. Roberts, Good Shepard Academy, St. Teresa and St. Joe's. We dodged the snow storm at the end of the week and all made it home safe and sound. We would like to thank you all for another great year during our run of Catholic Schools Week! We look forward to seeing you all again next year!
It's another week out on the road and another snow storm expected to hit some of the areas that we are traveling in. No need to worry. Did you know that if your shows are canceled, we look forward to working with you to reschedule them as soon as possible. That's the nice thing about working with the staff of The Brain Show. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible to bring our exciting Educational Assembly to your school!
So thanks again to all for another great week! More to come as we put in another week of great travels!

See you Soon!
-Chris

Hey everyone, Arielle here!

My travels have taken me to some GREAT schools in the past two weeks, a very special thanks to the parents/teachers who met with me on these early mornings to get set up for the funnest trivia game show in town!

The first week of February we will be celebrating Catholic Schools Week, and I started it off unofficially with Resurrection Catholic yesterday; you were AWESOME! A special thanks to Nancy who was there first thing in the morning and saw me off after the family fun night! Thank you students and teachers alike for a very fun day(and whoever knew Mrs. Forest was such a good dancer???)

Looking forward to Catholic Schools Week; have a great weekend!

She finds her efforts for entertaining people paying off firsthand now as a Brain Show host.

We would like to extend a big "Thank You" to all of our current clients, those who have us year after year, and to those who have yet to see "The Brain Show" but are anxiously awaiting the arrival in your facility. 2010 is shaping up to be just as fun and exciting as this past year has been. Arielle is out on the road now officially hosting her own "Brain Show", Jeff and Beverly are hard at work in the office, and as for me, well let's just say that I am just as excited this year as last to get back out on the road and see more familiar faces! We would like to say thanks again for a great year and we look forward to many more with you! Be safe this New Year and we will see you in 2010!
