“Going to beat the band,” is a bit archaic. I haven’t heard it in years! It means doing something rapidly (usu.) with intense focus.

Going to beat the band means to go very quickly.
I think it is a military reference, from the time when there were marching bands traveling at the head of each army. So, going faster than the band would mean you were in a huge hurry.
Yeah, I’ll stick with that.
