The first Glenn Miller Orchestra did not make it at all. It was a total
and absolute economic failure. But Glenn knew what he wanted, held to that dedication
and relentlessly worked to succeed. He launched his second band – the one that lives on
today – in March of 1938. The Glenn Miller Orchestra has been a “hit” ever since and
will be performing at the WYO Theater Friday February 25, 7:30pm.

The legendary Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all dance bandleaders back
in the Swing Era of the 1930’s and 40’s. A matchless string of hit records, the constant
impact of radio broadcasts and the drawing power at theatres, hotels and dance
pavilion, built and sustained the momentum of popularity.
