I booked New Creations Brass Band for a parade during Jazz Fest 2017. A couple of buddies and I went down to NOLA for a friend's bachelor party and we thought it would make his day by throwing him a surprise parade. One last hurrah of the single life! We had all the permits but NOPD never showed up!! After a few stressful minutes, NCBB helped us work out a new plan and off we went. They looked great in their uniforms (as requested), and were very professional and very talented! We had a bunch of strangers join the parade, and they managed the crowd very well by starting chants like "We like to paaaarrrrrttttaaaaayyyyy". They even managed to work in a cover of Tequilla which we requested for Cinco de Mayo! If I had to do it again I'd go with NCBB every time! Thanks for the memories!!!
When my father, an accomplished Dixieland Jazz musician (trumpet), passed away, we hired the New Creations Brass Band (NCBB) to honor him in style by taking his ashes to the Mississippi. Being from out of state, we knew planning a second line jazz funeral was risky. So many things could have gone wrong. But the NCBB were outstanding. They were professional, courteous, respectful, handsome, and most of all, excellent musicians. As we walked up Toulouse street from Louis Armstrong Park, hordes of people came out from restaurants, hotels, & shops, to hear the joyful noise coming out of these guys. People were smiling ear to ear and followed along. They really brought such joy to what could've been a sad affair. If you're looking for a memorable way to honor the passing of a loved one, first, I offer you my heartfelt condolences. When you're ready, as I was, to find a way to turn your broken heart into some kind of art, I couldn't recommend better musical spirits than the NCBB.

New Creations Brass Band was fabulous!! I got married at Rosy's Jazz Hall and they came in and started the second line throughout the venue and then we went outside and second lined to Grits bar. They were perfect and kept us dancing the entire time. Book them now if you want a great second line!
NCBB was an amazing edition to our wedding. They performed for a total of 1.5 hours for us. They did the pre-ceremony music (for while guest were taking their seats), ceremony music (saxophone down the aisle), second line music, and cocktail music. They were incredible and brought their amazing energy.

The new creations brass band was the perfect band for our event, my wife and I just had our 10 year anniversary in New Orleans and we could not have asked for more. Professional, uniform, and incredible musicians! They went out of their way to make sure our event Went absolutely smooth.
New Creations Brass Band put the exclamation mark on my Mardi Gras theme corporate holiday party! They were so good that I was asked to give someone their information so that they could book them for another event in North Carolina. I can't say enough, they are authentic and entertaining. All 400 people just loved them!

LOVED THIS GROUP! They were a perfect fit to our NEW ORLEANS-themed Holiday Party. And to top it all off, Kyle's assistance with setting up the second line parade was top-notch!
New Creations Brass Band provided the music for our Second Line Parade for a recent celebration event in New Orleans. They provided a great experience for our group and are an extremely talented group of musicians. Fabulous music and very well played! They were easy to work with on the details, arrived well ahead of time, were very friendly, and again, provided a memorable Second Line experience. Very highly recommended!!

New creations was incredibly talented and so much fun. We organized a parade for my friend's bachelor party. Around 100 people marched along with us and let loose to their music. They crushed it. Everyone involved couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had. They were loud and filled the streets with music. Kyle was very professional and easy to work with. He was quick to respond to any questions and had great communication prior to the event.

What a wonderful band and group of individuals. The heavens opened up and it poured on our Secondline and New Creations played through it, stopping in a covered space to let everyone dance in the rain!
They made it a time we will always remember!

It has to be said first that there was confusion with security at the superdome directing musicians to correct venues, but the musicians were extremely late, which delayed the festivities. However, when they did start it was a superb performance, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. They were very talented and very professional. I would hire them again.
Brass Band
Response from New Creations Brass Band:
Hi Dr. Barrilleaux,
We apologize again for being late. The Superdome is a massive venue with several clubhouses and sub venues within it... We hope we can make it up for y'all and that we'll have another chance to perform for you!

When John Legend agrees to visit your building for an event on ending mass incarceration... who you gonna call to celebrate life, and Second Line him back out to the bus? New Creations Brass Band, of course. Having had the pleasure of knowing their energy from all the amazing gigs on Frenchmen and in the Quarter, I called who I can trust. They waited... and waited, in the lobby. I know it was killing them, to leave it a surprise for all the attendees upstairs at Voice of the Experienced. But so worth it!! I was standing right next to John Legend when he realized: a bona fide New Orleans brass band was downstairs and blasting through the walls- he reflexively shifted gears, back into a musician, smoothly put on his shades and adjusted his collar. Everyone, including the cameraman, tried squeezing in the elevator with us... and down we went. Sliding up to the band, to his brothers in music, John was back home in his element! Dancing in the lobby, young and old, until finally someone hit the door. The fellas led us all out, dancing through the parking lot, while so many others were stunned wondering why John Legend was here off St. Bernard?! Finally, he was quick to grab his OWN selfies with New Creations, and onto the bus. I love these guys, and was incredibly happy to extend a nice paid gig their way!
