    Do you mean a second line?  I know you need to get a permit from the NOPD and hire a police escort.  I know there are a couple of second line bands that people have used on this board.

    If you are talking about a second line, then louisianablue is correct in the steps you should take for that.  A traditional second line wasn't in our budget so we did one around our reception room towards the end of the reception, and our guests loved it.  I don't think I've ever heard of brides going in together and sharing the costs for this though.

    I  HIGHLY recommend The Original Pin Stripe Brass Band. They are a legit brass band that has been part of our culture here for decades. Considering how successful they are and that you can walk into any local music store and buy their CDs off the shelf, they are surprisingly affordable. We paid something like $700. Contact Don Powers at NOPD. He can get you all the info you need inc permit fees and phone numbers to the band leaders.

    The Storyville Jazz Band is doing my wedding-
    The "full" band is 6 people for second line type stuff & a little bit of other music if you wanted.
    If you want 1 or 2 people to play at the church service, they can do 2 for 150.00.
    (processional/recessional- ex. panis angelicus, trumpet tune, trumpet voluntary, wedding march, jesu joy of mans desire, etc)
