A military band is a group of personnel that perform musical duties for military functions, usually for the armed forces. A typical military band consists mostly of wind and percussion instruments. The conductor of a band commonly bears the title of Bandmaster or Director of Music.
Like you have seen on Britain’s Got Talent, there are some fabulous dance groups out there. Orangements provide many dance groups in many different styles.
Our dance groups normally use stages or dance areas, which you can hire in a floor or stage, through us.
Some dance groups play their music through a PA system and some dance groups will bring their own. Orangements can provide PA systems if required.
Changing facilities are normally a must.

An orchestra is an instrumental ensemble, usually fairly large with string, brass, woodwind sections, and possibly a percussion section as well. The term orchestra derives from the name for the area in front of an ancient Greek stage reserved for the Greek chorus. The orchestra grew by accretion throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but changed very little in composition during the course of the twentieth century.
Big band is a type of musical ensemble associated with playing jazz music and which became popular during the Swing Era from the early 1930s until the late 1940s, although there are many big-bands around nowadays. A big band typically consists of approximately 12 to 25 musicians and contains saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and a rhythm section. The terms jazz band, jazz ensemble, stage band, jazz orchestra, and dance band are also used to refer to this type of ensemble.

This was a really good fun time for music you still had the influences if the seventies with groups like Queen and Earth Wind and Fire. You also had the changes of music created by Michael Jackson, MC Hammer and Phil Collins.
Seventies music is coagulating into different groups. Its the era of super groups; of playing to giant stadiums of people, of money and remoteness by being strung out on drugs and playing music that bears no relation to anyone’s lives.
