Big band has rector dancing (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orchestra

'big band' is the definition.

'has rector dancing' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'has'+'rector'='hasrector'
'hasrector' anagrammed gives 'ORCHESTRA'.

(Other definitions for orchestra that I've seen before include "Large musical group" , "Eg, LSO, RPO" , "Noted performers" , "Large band of players" , "Group of musical instrumentalists" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Times.
