Well guys,

I come from a small high school where we have Marching season...and concert season...and thats our ENTIRE music program.

So I am trying to form a Big Band amongst some of the students and just have a little more fun with my trumpet. I wanted to see what you guys thought would be the bare essentials to forming a "little" Big Band.

Right now I have in mind of a good alto, clarinet (not sure if thats a real big band instrument..but he could pull off some Benny Goodman stuff) tenor sax, and possibly barry sax, probably another trumpet and of course I would be the Maynard Ferguson of the group

(coughs)

Im sure my band director could provide us with some good music, or even the local community college director...

Soo i guess what Im asking is..what else do you think I would need to form an effective group?..remember im from a small school (with about54 band students..but we have a lot of talent in there!)

Thanks for you time,
