Parades
The Jack Brass Band has been performing in community parades for over 15 years, as parades are a cornerstone of the New Orleans brass band tradition. Based on our instrumentation, we require NO parade vehicle or float - and simply entertain the crowd while stolling down the street playing "Feel-Good Music."
The high energy brass and drums are always a hit with all ages of spectators, as well as parade participants and coordinators alike.
Typical tune selections include:
-
Grazin in the Grass
-
Mardi Gras in New Orleans
-
I Feel Like Funkin' It Up
-
My Feet Can't Fail Me Now
-
L'il Liza Jane
-
When the Saints Go Marching In
