Grand Isle Fire Brigade Street Band- The Corral Stage
Grand Isle Fire Brigade Street Band is a 5 piece band modeled after “The Hungry Five” a group that was directed by arranger Harry Alford, in the 1930s. The music is rooted in German oompah style, but they also did tunes from Ireland, Spain, Italy, and around the world!
The band will be located on The Corral Stage at the end of Main Street. When they’re not on stage they will wander through downtown performing to visitors on the street earning the “Street Band” part of their name!
