The Orillia Big Band (previously named Orillia's Little Big Band as the band has outgrown it's original name) is under the music direction of Randy Hoover. The band is comprised of a balance of saxophones, trombones, trumpets and rhythm section plus a featured vocalist and soloists. There are 20 members in the group. The Orillia Big Band performs live for ballroom dances with an extensive selection of music for foxtrot, waltz, slow style, swing, polka and tango. Some audience members even enjoy attending in vintage dress. Think of songs like String of Pearls, Georgia, Stardust, In the Mood, Days of Wine and Roses and Moonlight Serenade to put you in the dance spirit.

On Saturday September 10 2022, a Maple Leaf Club Dance Revival was held as a tribute and fundraising event/dance to a sold old audience in what was once called the Maple Leaf Club during WWII. Proceeds benefitted St. James' Anglican Church Community Loonie Lunch program and The Orillia Sharing Place.

Since then, the Orillia Big Band has been a highly sought after band. For more information please click on the links below
