A NIGHT IN THE 40’s Big Band Dance and USO Show

“A NIGHT IN THE 40’s”
Take a Sentimental Journey WITH THE ARIZONA WING HANGAR DANCE March18th 2006

The Arizona Wing will take a Sentimental Journey back to 1943 with “A Night in the 40s.” This glamorous event features a WW II USO Show followed by a Big Band Orchestra playing sounds of the era to dancing men and women dressed in the period - all in the shadow of the vintage B-17 WW II bomber “Sentimental Journey”!
Besides being a nostalgic journey back in time, “A Night in the 40’s” benefits a worthwhile cause — a fund raiser for the Arizona Wing CAF flying museum at Mesa’s Falcon Field, NE corner of McKellips and Greenfield; an organization dedicated to keeping history alive for current and future generations.
“A Night in the 40’s” will be held Saturday, March 18th, with doors opening at 4:30 p.m. Everyone is encouraged to come dressed in the style of the 40s. Danny Davis from AM 1230 KOY will be the Master of Ceremonies. Entertainment begins at 5:30 p.m. with La Petite “Ja’Zaz” a 1940’s Musical USO Show with singers and a professional trio of piano, bass, and drums. At 7:30 p.m., swing time kicks in featuring the Sun Lakes Big Band Orchestra playing favorite Big Band Music from the war years. There will also be a costume contest for the best dressed 1940’s costume, swing dance contest, and silent auction.

Those in attendance may purchase food and refreshments tickets for the event including refreshments and a barbeque plate provided by Taylor Rays. Tickets for “A Night in the 40’s” are $30 per person purchased in advance and $35 per person the night of the dance. Tickets can be purchased at the Arizona Wing hangar facility, 2017 N.
