I can guarantee you that unless you are playing some very specific big band arrangement or certain genre of contemporary big band music where direction is needed, the band won't even be watching the MD. A pro md rehearses the band on tempos, style, interpretation, details etc. On standard tunes like Basie, Ellington, Florence, Buddy Rich, Miller etc, he/she won't be doing much arm waving in front of the band. It's goes against the band is feeling as they are playing.
