Four pieces or fifty. Beat The Heat scale their brass to the event, with a standard line-up of seven, five horns and two drummers, and the ability to build out to a full marching band. Roving is the speciality. They can walk into a venue already playing, and with no amplification they need nothing set up at all. The book leans modern and danceable, Lizzo, Taylor Swift, Sia, Imagine Dragons, alongside trad numbers like Bourbon Street Parade, and they'll write custom arrangements if there's a song that matters to you. Vocalists can be added, including for roving sets. Marching band outfits throughout. Public liability insurance, and every member holds a Working With Children Check.
Watch Beat The Heat perform and get a feel for their sound, style and fit for your wedding.

Roving is what this band is built for, and the scale moves with the event: four players, fifty players, or anything between. Sets are loud and quick-moving, the marching band outfits look sharp, and vocalists can be added, including for the roving sets, which not many brass bands offer. If there's a song that matters to the occasion, they'll write a custom arrangement of it. They also bring in other performers they like working with, and they'll travel anywhere in Australia.
Unamplified, there's nothing to set up at all. They can walk into your venue already playing, which is a genuinely good entrance for a wedding or a launch. Bigger shows are a different conversation, and they'll work out PA and microphone options with you depending on the room and the audience size.
Modern pop arranged for horns, mostly, and it's built for dancing. Lizzo's About Damn Time and 2 Be Loved, Taylor Swift's Bad Blood and Blank Space, Believer, Cheap Thrills, Flowers, Crazy in Love, CUFF IT, Happy, Get Lucky, Can't Stop the Feeling and Don't Stop the Music. There's a big disco and 80s streak too: I Will Survive, I'm Coming Out, Celebration, I Want You Back, Faith, Human Nature, I'm Still Standing and ABBA's Gimme Gimme Gimme. Plus La Bamba, Jump in the Line, Barbie Girl, Grace Kelly, Heads Will Roll and Bourbon Street Parade for the traditional New Orleans end. The list dates from mid 2023 and keeps moving. Ask about a custom arrangement if there's something specific you want.
Seven pieces is the standard line-up, five horns and two drummers. From there it goes up or down: a four piece for a tighter space, or built out much larger for a full marching band.
