The Bill Denbrock Big Band

–Authentic full-band arrangements of music of the swing / big band era

Together for more than 40 years, the Bill Denbrock Big Band has seen musicians from all walks of life contributing. Several members are current or retired local high school band directors. Others played in school all the way from elementary to college. One thing we all have in common is our love of the music, but we also share the good feeling of camaraderie that comes from producing what is now a unique musical style. We are dedicated to keeping this music alive and giving concerts so that others may enjoy it as well.

The Bill Denbrock Big Band has been performing for big band music lovers for over 25 years. They perform annually for the Port Austin Art Fair and have had performance dates all around the thumb area as well as dates at farther sites such as Mackinac Island, Bay City, Saginaw, Port Sanilac, Sandusky, and Lapeer.

The musicians are all volunteer performers and are from all walks of life, teachers, students, professionals, etc.

The group consists of 10-14 members playing brass, wind, and percussion instruments. See billdenbrockbigband.net for bios of the band members.
