The objective of the Americans Unit is to provide for its members, and this is accomplished through activities intended to further enhance the member’s satisfaction of Moslem Shriners, while becoming proficient in entertaining audiences at parades, ceremonials and other Shrine events as requested.
The concept of the Americans Unit was developed with the intent of simulating our early American heritage of the cowboys and Indians. The unit depicts the days of old by creating images of cowboys, Indians and troopers performing in the streets in full costume, while on motor bikes complete with simulated horse heads mounted on the handlebars.
Further theatrics were explored and brought to stage during the parades to include: the poplar Indian attack on a covered wagon and stage coach, complete with a call to the cavalry to save the day, and of course, the crowd favorite, scalping of General Custer. All of which lends itself to being great entertainment for the audience and puts smiling faces on the children.
