If the banana tree is busy turning it's leaves brown, I'd guess that's too little water in the banana plant's opinion at least.
Wind will also dry things out a lot so other than adding more water, if there was some way to protect it from wind that would help. Park a truck upwind of it? Mulch around the base will help keep the moisture in, too. Mulching with compost is best, if you can get any compost. Otherwise lawn clippings, dead leaves, almost any sort of organic stuff will work.
