Little Big Band is a hybrid group comprising six to eight horns and three to four rhythm performers that combines the ensemble and chart reading requirements of a big band with the improvisational freedom and expectations of a small group.
All students are expected to improvise and are encouraged to arrange/compose for the ensemble. Being smaller and more flexible than a big band, arrangements for the group can occasionally be comprised of sparse notations and be dependent upon improvisation. Concerts often include multiple student arrangements.
