Community Event•Reviewed on October 26, 2014•From Corte Madera, CA
The Grand Isle Fire Brigade was the much needed shot in the arm for our Oktoberfest. Their oompah music was so engaging, fun and crisp that people practically stopped and gathered around them, visibly happy and engaged. EJ, the band leader, was quite the showman and default host of the segment. The town band leader even commented that the Grand Isle's music was a show-stopper, and a great new sound appropriate for the event. We also received a lot of compliments from the crowd. For these reasons, we plan to make them a part of our Oktoberfest every year!

The Brigade was outstanding! They exceeded my every expectation. We hired the Brigade for a Baraat/Jaan procession for my wedding. EJ started communications early, and was honest about their experiences with doing a Baraat. I requested and provided some extra Bollywood music, which they were happy to learn and played wonderfully. Our party really enjoyed the music and had a wonderful time. Thank you for everything.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 15, 2014•From Pleasant Hill, CA
The Grand Isle Fire Brigade were wonderful at my mother's Oktoberfest themed surprise birthday party. We were able to coordinate with them to play Happy Birthday once she walked in the door and she was thrilled. They also arranged a special song just for her. They got a lot of people to dance the chicken dance and do a big Prost! throughout their time. Our party was wonderful and these guys really made it extra special. If we ever have another occasion to hire them, we definitely will!

Grand Isle Fire Brigade not only brought the fun to our Oktoberfest, but they were extremely professional and talented. They accommodated my requests for style of music and song choices and just in general a delight to work with. Highly recommend for future gigs!

This group was hired to perform at our annual Oktoberfest. Braving a bad rainstorm, the group kept the crowd very entertained and we a great addition to our event. They interacted with the crowd and provided the exact music we were looking for. I would highly recommend the Grand Isle Fire Brigade to anyone.

All I can say is Grand Isle Fire Brigade Band was amazing, it made my wedding day an unforgettable event. It was there first time playing Indian tunes, which seemed like they have been playing these tunes for years. Family and friends loved them and are all looking forward to have them play in future wedding celebrations. It was really nice to work with EJ and his team, if you guys need a brass band for a wedding or any celebration book Grand Isle Fire Brigade.
