FAQ
-
What do I get when I book HMBB for an event?Besides live musical performance, we can also provide full sound and production needs including lights.
-
How is the pricing structured?Our pricing is customized based on the specific details of your event, such as its size, location, and the number of musicians needed. We believe in personalizing our quotes to ensure they meet your exact requirements. Please contact us to discuss your event and receive a tailored quote promptly within one to two days. For a rough estimate of our pricing, you can find indicative rates on our website.
-
What is the booking like?Once we've had a chance to discuss and ensure everything aligns perfectly, we'll send you a straightforward contract for your review. Upon signing, a 50% deposit (which you can conveniently pay online via credit card) is required to secure your booking. From there, we'll proceed with planning, logistics, and catering to your musical preferences!
-
Can you emcee my event?Yes, we can serve as MCs and make necessary announcements. Our MC approach is subtle and professional—unlike those who entertain with jokes or attempt to hype up the crowd, we prefer a more reserved style. Instead of directing guests to participate actively, we focus on enhancing the atmosphere through our musical contributions.
-
Does HMBB do more than just Brass Band performances?Yes! We offer DJ + Horns + Percussion - great for the main entertainment of the evening or keeping the party going after the band plays. We can also arrange smaller groups like Jazz trios - performing jazz standards (piano, bass, drums), Soul jazz organ trios - performing funk and Soul Jazz classics (organ, guitar, drums).
-
What is the dj + horns + percussion band?DJ + HORNS + PERCUSSION is a hybrid band that combines the best of both worlds for events for live music enthusiasts or those undecided between a DJ or full band. The performance centers around a DJ set that drives the energy and music non-stop throughout the night. We offer the versatility of playing any requested music and are not just limited to the band’s repertoire. Live instruments such as horns, drums, and guitar complement the DJ set, enhancing the music with the vibrant spontaneity only live performers can bring. To experience the fusion firsthand, check out our videos!
-
Do you provide sound systems?Our wedding packages include at least one sound system setup, with the option to add additional setups for an extra fee. We provide wireless microphones for ceremonies, speeches, and toasts to ensure clear and professional audio.
