Bad Apples Brass Band
Overview
Bad Apples Brass Band playing South Florida since 2012! Perfect for New Orleans Mardi Gras parties, parades, Fat Tuesday, second line or any event that needs to kick it up a notch. We also offer a "Big Easy" set up that does not require amplification or a sound system to keep the party going. Great "surprise" band! Playing along great New Orleans perfomers including Rebirth Brass Band, Bonerama, Glen David Andrews and Papa Grow Funk, "When the Saints Go Marching In," you want us to be in that number!

What to expect
Lots of high energy brass! Our audience should expect to have the best time at your event as our music is the perfect ice breaker and brings the party to a whole different level. Nothing beats the novelty and excitement of a rolling, rip-roaring brass band full of trumpets, saxophones, trombones, drums and of course sousaphone (tuba)!
