Exactly what I was going to say. At big band you probly hear the notes in your head before you play and blow them out with wild abandon.
In orchestra you have to hit the note with feness. Big difference and approach.
Body controll would be to relax. Don't tense up to screem out the note. Use the same idea as singing the note.
Breath controll would be to fill your lungs as much as possible and then more. Get that full feeling in your head and don't wait until you need air to breath in. Run on a full tank to 3/4 down and fill up again. There are a lot of places in Arbans to work on this and still learn something else with the same exercise. Ask your teacher.
