Brass, beats and good cheer – on the move, rousing, impossible to ignore!
With their striking appearance and palpable enthusiasm, Pink Banda grab everyone’s attention from the very first moment. The musicians, dressed in pink trousers and white hoodies, are not only a visual highlight but, as a mobile band, bring energy, groove and a close connection with the audience to every event. Whether it’s a town festival, a corporate party, a wedding or a trade fair – wherever Pink Banda turns up, they create a lively atmosphere and spread good cheer.
Musically, the band blends timeless classics with jazz standards, pop hits from the 80s and 90s, and current chart-toppers. Songs such as ‘Stand By Me’, ‘Valerie’, ‘Dance Monkey’, ‘Happy’ and ‘The Pink Panther’ are given fresh, rhythmic arrangements that are instantly catchy and appeal to all generations. Familiar tunes meet new energy, inviting everyone to sing along and dance.
Pink Banda is completely mobile and performs acoustically, without the need for a stage or elaborate technical set-up. The musicians move freely through streets, squares or event venues, creating lively, spontaneous moments through their interaction with the audience.
The line-up varies flexibly between three and five musicians and can be tailored perfectly to the budget and size of the event. The saxophone, banjo and sousaphone form the band’s distinctive core sound. Depending on the occasion, the ensemble can be expanded to include drums or a trombone; optionally, a trumpet adds extra sparkle and even more energy.
Pink Banda can be booked as a trio through to a sextet.
The line-ups usually perform as follows. (Adjustments and special requests – e.g. a quartet with a trumpet instead of a trombone – are possible)
Trio: saxophone, banjo, tuba / sousaphone
Quartet: saxophone, banjo, tuba / sousaphone, drums
Quintet: saxophone, trombone, banjo, tuba / sousaphone, drums
