- Did you know the Glenn Miller Orchestra travels over 100,000 miles each year to perform nearly 300 shows for more than 500,000 fans? With a repertoire of more than 1,700 compositions, the orchestra keeps the timeless sounds of the big band era alive for all audiences.
- Bandleader Glenn Miller formed his first orchestra in 1937, but after it struggled to find success, he reorganized the band in 1938 with a distinctive big band sound that helped make it one of the most popular orchestras of the swing era.
- “In the Mood” became one of the most famous swing recordings of all time and remains a signature big band favorite. “Chattanooga Choo Choo” earned what is widely recognized as the first Gold Record awarded to a recording artist, after selling more than one million copies.
