Hi,
What does cue fanfare mean?
Does it mean: let the band start playing.
Many thanks

Yes, that's pretty much it. A "fanfare" is a short and dramatic burst of music, typically played on trumpets or similar, and typically played when an important person enters, or an important event is about to begin, or something of that nature. It can also be used figuratively to mean a big display of enthusiasm and excitement.
