Kansas City Trumpet Duo
THE SOUNDOF ARRIVAL
Two trumpets in blue and gold, heralding weddings, galas and grand entrances across Kansas City — and holding court every season at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival.
The Duo
A fanfare that fills the room before anyone says a word
Royal Brass is a two-trumpet ensemble built for ceremony. We play in tight, bright harmony — the kind of sound that turns a doorway into an entrance and a toast into a moment. Our repertoire runs from Renaissance processionals and baroque fanfares to jazz standards and the occasional cheeky crowd-pleaser.
Costumed in blue and gold and equally at home in black tie, we arrive early, play sharp, and leave your guests talking about the horns.

Our Arms
Borne with the weight of a royal house
Every fanfare we play carries the bearing of this crest — lion and unicorn standing guard, banners raised, a shield quartered in blue and gold. It is the mark we perform under, at the festival gate and at your celebration alike.
Dieu et mon droit — the motto beneath our horns. When Royal Brass sounds, the court has arrived.

A look at where the blue and gold has played this year.
“You do not hire Royal Brass for background music. You hire them for the moment everyone remembers.”
“We wanted our entrance to feel like a coronation, and that is exactly what we got. Our guests are still talking about it.”
Caroline & Theo Bassett, married at Crown Point Estate
“They announced the bride and the whole garden went silent, then erupted. Nothing else does that.”
Marianne Fults, wedding planner
“Professional, punctual, and genuinely thrilling. Our donors still bring up the trumpets.”
Dell Rawson, benefit gala chair
“We go to the festival every year just to follow these two around the village.”
Priya Raman, festival patron
