Photo of The Sidewalk Crusaders The Sidewalk Crusaders "Great energy!! We are so happy we booked The Sidewalk Cruisaders for our wedding. They brought so much energy and fun to our cocktail hour. My guests raved about them. Very easy to work with and willing to tailor the song list to our likes and interests." Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (436 miles from Chicago) Lisa W. Photo of THE "ORIGINAL" MOONLIGHTERS ® THE "ORIGINAL" MOONLIGHTERS ® "We hired the Original Moonlighters for our wedding band, and they were absolutely fantastic! We had a large wedding, with a lot of guests that have different musical tastes, but this band was able to get everyone on the dance floor and brought amazing energy to the wedding. They had a wide set list and made our special day even more fun."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for brass bands ranges from $210 to $3,000+, with an average of $1,400. Cost depends heavily on the number of players in the ensemble, which can range from a small section to a full marching or concert brass band. Performance duration and whether the booking includes a parade, procession or static performance also influence the price.

Events that commonly feature brass bands include weddings, fairs, festivals, parades, Christmas events and civic ceremonies. The bold, celebratory sound of a brass band creates a sense of occasion and works well for both formal and informal outdoor events.

The brass bands for hire range from small brass ensembles of three to five players up to full traditional brass bands of 25 or more. A smaller group suits intimate events and spaces where volume needs to be managed, while a full band delivers the classic brass band sound for larger occasions.

Brass instruments are naturally loud and most brass bands can perform without any amplification, especially outdoors. For indoor events or very large spaces, some performers may use microphones. It is advisable to discuss venue details with the band to determine whether any amplification is needed.
