There are several intros for the band to warm up to, which then reach a climax (with crazy drumrolls and miscellaneous musical uproar) where the chosson and kallah run in and the band strikes up the traditional Od Yishama. Unfortunately none of them have official names, so when you ask bands what intros they can play they say that they can play “The Intro” or The American Wedding Intro” or “The Typical Wedding Intro Based On A Hit By Elvis” or “The Presidents’ Intro” and last but not least ” The Intro For Greatly Confused Popes”, all of which are almost, if not entirely, identical.You’re best off just asking the band to audition or give you a several recordings and choose whatever one you like. Most bands heavily orchestrate their intros so there will only be one or two (quite good) options.
