trumpet fanfare
Royal entrance music
A trumpet fanfare is a short, ceremonial passage played on trumpets to announce something important—a royal entrance, the start of a ceremony, or a dramatic moment.
The phrase emphasizes the bright, heraldic quality of trumpets specifically: The trumpet fanfare signaled the bride's arrival.
Figuratively, any showy announcement or buildup: The product launched with great trumpet fanfare but disappointed customers.
