.

Full members:
Darryl - band leader, conductor, piano
Swen - manager
Thomas - arranger, clarinet
Helmut - trumpet
Nadim - percussion, ukulele
Ines - vocals

.

Regular and guest appearances:

Benjamin (new!) - right now tambourine, later maybe accordeon
Christian (or is he full member? Honestly I dont know…) - flute
HCL - double bass, tuba
Matthew (just starting) - dont know for shure yet, they said he can play many instruments, maybe French horn?
Michael - guitar
Rena (just starting) - backing vocals
Tanja (leaving soon…) - violin

.
