The Saxophonics

🎷 The Saxophonics is a dynamic small ensemble from the Troy Community Band, bringing together a mix of classical, jazz, and pop and rock. The music ranges from rich and lyrical to bold and energetic.

Our repertoire includes familiar favorites, hidden gems, and everything in between. You will hear jazz standards, pop and rock covers, classical transcriptions, or themes from movies and video games, all reimagined for sax ensemble. Many of our pieces are arranged by members of the group. The result is a sound that is both personal and constantly evolving.

Our instrumentation shifts depending on the music. Sometimes it is all saxophones, and other times we mix in flute, clarinet, whistles, or whatever best fits the moment. We enjoy exploring different colors and textures to match the style and mood of each piece.

The Saxophonics began in 2020, when the Troy Community Band was on pause during the pandemic. What started as small outdoor gatherings grew into a dedicated ensemble, and we have been playing together ever since.

Come hear us at an upcoming performance and experience the unique sound of the sax ensemble for yourself.

Note: The Saxophonics are an invitation-only ensemble and are not open for general membership like the full Troy Community Band.
