149741 seo analysis on a few pages

We have a large site with many band (over 16,000 bands) pages. We have lots of content listed for the bands that we've recently added, but we're not sure whether we have the pages optimized to show up high in the search results. I want to suggestions on what changes I should make to my page templates to make the pages show up higher on the search results. For example, should I be repeating the band name more often, should I add more alt tags, should I change anchor tags, should I add more anchor tags, should I change the formatting of the text, etc? PMB for links to the site.
