In general, if you're attacking with a band, all the creatures in it assign combat damage to the band's blockers (C.R. 702.21h, 510.1c; see also C.R. 702.21c). However, you "take into account [in part] damage from other creatures that's being assigned during the same combat damage step" to determine whether lethal damage is assigned to a creature (C.R. 702.19b; see also C.R. 510.1c). Therefore, if the remaining creatures combined assign lethal damage to all creatures blocking the band, you may assign the excess combat damage of the creature with trample to the player or planeswalker it's attacking (C.R. 702.19b). See also this thread.
Banding allows a single creature to block a group of attackers, but that's not so special: Give No Ground does the very same thing.
All creatures in the band assign damage to the blocker. Creatures with Trample 'come last': any excess damage can be assigned to the player.
EDIT (Apr. 16): Correctness edit.
All creatures in the band assign damage to the blocker. Creatures with Trample 'come last': any excess damage can be assigned to the player.
