The New 8th Army Air Corp Orchestra and USO Show

Add a touch of classic nostalgia to your next function with a new show that takes you on a swinging musical journey through the war years. During World War II, scores of inductees from the entertainment ranks gave military bands and special services units the creme of the big band crop - from Major Glen Miller’s famous Army Air Corp Band to the many smaller service bands all along the war front. Working with the USO and a host of legendary guest stars, it was their job to help lessen the pain of war and bring a little touch of home to thousands of military personnel stationed at remote military bases.

You can now re-live some of those musical moments from an expert re-creation of the very best of the service bands: The New 8th Army Air Corp Orchestra. This musical tour de force provides a swinging foundation for a show of the most memorable music of the 1940s. From Glenn Miller’s Moonlight Serenade and In The Mood, to Benny Goodman’s Let’s Dance and Sing, Sing, Sing, to the Andrews Sisters Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy and Don’t Sit Under The Apple Tree.

All your favorite hits are here in one fun-filled, very exciting package.

The New 8th Army Air Corp Orchestra is available in several different configurations to suit any special event or budget. Consider these features:

The New 8th Army Air Corp Orchestra
Solid big band music for dance or show The band compliment can be from
9 to 18 members depending on location size and budget requirements.

The Satin Dolls
Three lovely ladies, in military or period dress, saluting the famous girl trios and harmonizing the great vocal hits of the ‘30s and ‘40s.

Crooner Mark King
Let him take you back to the years of “Frankie” and the bobby socks set. Thrill to the beautiful ballads and swinging hits of the war years.

YOU’LL HAVE THE SOUND AND THE LOOK! All band members and entertainers wear full WWII Army uniforms. The Band setup features colorful music stands emblazoned with the popular 8th Army Air Corp insignia. A giant 24 x 14 foot full color backdrop transports you and your guests to an Army airfield somewhere in wartime England. A giant B-29 bomber seems to dive right out of the background and into your party! This military setting can be combined with other wartime decor to create an even more complete themed event. It can effectively stand on it’s own, or be part of a multiple era presentation.

AND THE PRICE WILL SURPRISE YOU! This exciting show is based right here in Central Florida, not in Miami or New York. Reserve your date now for fall and winter events.
