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 the come to Central Dauphin!!
