As for the expression, "to beat the band" -- I rather wondered how it got started. Research revealed several possible explanations, but it seems it simply means, "that you sang or played or shouted louder even than an orchestra and so, by later extension, came to refer to anything superlative."
So by banging on the cookware, Ellie can go to pot and beat the band at the same time!
