The Instrumentation
The Little Big Band
The current Serenaders band is comprised of ten instrumentalists in three sections: reeds (woodwinds), brass, and rhythm. Depending on the event, we sometimes add a vocalist or configure a smaller band.
The Sections
The Reeds
The woodwind section is comprised of an alto sax, a tenor sax, and a baritone sax. When an arrangement calls for clarinet or flute, one or more of the woodwind section play that instrument.
The Brass
The brass section is made up of two trumpets and two trombones.
The Rhythm
The rhythm section is piano, bass, and drums.
