Maria doesn't believe a word, but Oscar proves it by having several of its members play their instruments and sections individually. Maria still doesn't believe him as the music she just heard was beautifully performed. Oscar knows this; as the conductor, it's his job to help them jumble the music up, and he leads the band in playing a piercing, tone-deaf orchestration that makes Maria leave.
