The Old Pros Big Band Orchestra is an all-volunteer organization that was founded at New River Community College in January 1973 by a small group of local musicians interested in preserving and playing the sounds of the Big Band Era. Since the first rehearsal in 1973, the band has grown to 28 musicians. Membership includes professionals, small business owners, retirees, teachers and students. Their ages and musical backgrounds are as varied as their professions.
