About the Big Band

Our Big Band is a non-auditioned ensemble of more than 30 musicians! We embrace all of our musicians that range from come-back players after a long hiatus to educators to retirees to those that gig regularly around Central Florida. And all have found a place to call home with our ensemble!

We have performed a wide variety of music that has spanned from traditional swing to funk to rock to latin, and of course we always incorporate some fun charts around the holiday season too! This is one of our most frequently performing adult ensembles with multiple featured performances per year, and some community gigs as well at local holiday events, jazz festivals, art walks, and more!

Whether you have been playing for years, haven’t played in years, or anything in between, we encourage you to come and join us. We welcome all instrumentalists into our community and would love to have you on stage with us at our next performance! Please fill out an Interest Form, and our team will be reaching out to you to help answer any of your questions and help get you started with us!
