Dauphin, we Sold Out, so be sure to get your tickets
early!!
Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all the dance
bandleaders back in the Swing era of the 1930s and ‘40s. A matchless string
of hit records, the constant impact of radio broadcasts, and the drawing
power at theatres, hotels, and dance pavilions built and sustained the
momentum of Glenn Miller's popularity.
Glenn
disbanded his musical organization in 1942, at the height of its fame,
volunteered for the Army and then organized and led the famous Glenn Miller
Army Air Force Band to entertain servicemen. On December 15, 1944, Major
Miller took off in a single-engine plane from England to precede his band to
France, never to be seen again. The army declared him officially dead a year
later.
In response to popular demand, the Miller Estate authorized the formation
of the present Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1956. The 19-member band continues
to play many of the original Miller arrangements, thrilling Glenn
Miller's
original fans who have not heard them played for a while as well as a whole
new generation of fans. Most of the band’s shows are sell-outs. It has
proven staying power, and its popularity has never seemed to wane. Indeed,
the Glenn Miller Orchestra today is still the most sought after big-band in
the world just as it was in Glenn’s day. Be sure not to miss them as they
return to Central Dauphin!!
