-£10Big Band are the university's award-winning premier jazz ensemble. They are a professional calibre 21-piece big band comprising saxes, trombones, trumpets, rhythm and two vocalists. The varied repertoire includes a diverse range of genres such as swing, latin, samba and funk, making live shows hugely atmospheric and entertaining.
They audition for members annually to form a first-class band of students from various programmes and schools which rehearse weekly on Tuesday evenings to prepare for functions taking place both within Surrey and externally. They perform at sell-out headline gigs, host regular jam nights and hold an exciting annual tour. Members benefit from regular social events to which friends of the band are always welcome.
