🎷 Reimagine the Classics with a Contemporary Twist

At The People’s Big Band, we breathe new life into familiar tunes. Our 20-piece ensemble reinterprets pop and rock classics through the vibrant energy of a live jazz band. From the rhythmic beats of “Seven Nation Army” to the soulful melodies of “Africa,” we blend swing, blues, funk, and R&B to create performances that are both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.

“Joining the band reignited my passion for music. It’s a space where creativity thrives, and every rehearsal feels like a new adventure.”

🎺 All Instruments Welcome – No Auditions Necessary

We celebrate diversity in sound and spirit. Whether you play the saxophone, trumpet, trombone, French horn, or are part of a groove-heavy rhythm section, there’s a place for you here. Our inclusive approach means no auditions and no restrictions on instrument numbers. We value the unique contribution each musician brings to our collective sound.

“I was amazed at how welcoming the band was. It didn’t matter that I played a less common instrument; they made me feel like an essential part of the group.”

🎼 A Community That Nurtures Growth and Confidence

Beyond the music, The People’s Big Band is a community where musicians support each other’s growth. We offer performance mentoring to help you build confidence and refine your skills. Our rehearsals are collaborative spaces where feedback is constructive, and every member is encouraged to shine.

“The mentoring I received was invaluable. It not only improved my playing but also boosted my confidence to perform in front of an audience again.”
