We are a welcoming and supportive group who come together every Tuesday evening to rehearse do a few live gigs each year and just enjoy keeping big band music alive.
A traditional Big Band has 5 Saxophones (2 Altos, 2 Tenors and a Baritone), 4 Trombones and 4 Trumpets as well as a Rhythm Section and often singers. The Midwest Big Band aim to follow this format. We also have our own sound engineer.
If you’d like to be in the Midwest just turn up to rehearsal on a Tuesday evening (7:30 - 9:30pm) and we’ll be pleased to see you.
We usually invite you to come along and sit in for an informal rehearsal. The most important thing to remember is that we’re a nice, friendly bunch and we want you to feel happy and relaxed, this is a fun and social band so don’t stress.
