The Los Alamos Big Band is a 16-instrument 1940s Glenn Miller-style swing band that plays for public events, weddings, conventions, fund raisers and more.
The band has been playing at dances throughout northern New Mexico since 1984 under the direction of Jan McDonald, who was for many years the band director at Los Alamos High School. The band features well-known local vocalists Rene LeClaire and sisters Grace Willerton and Joy Reynolds.
