Start of Orchestra The combination of Glenn Mil ler's music with Ray McKinley's direction is nothing new; it is al most 25 years old. The combina tion culminated when McKinley took over Miller's Army Air Force dance band when Major Miller \vas lost in action during World War II. Their story starts in Chicago during the early thirties. Miller was just beginning his career as an arranger and trombonist in Ben Pollacks' band. McKinley was just starting as he had just conic from Ft. Worth, Texas, and was drum ming in a night club. When Miller left Pollack's band Calendar I Wednesday, November 21 5-6 p.m. - Pep Club Meeting, Room 204, Russell House. Thursday, November 22 8 a.m.-Holidays start.

After leaving the Bal lew band Miller helped to organ ize the Dorsey Brothers' Orches tra. He also wrote arrangements for this band. Then Miller got together a band in America for Ray Noble before Noble came here from England. McKinley stayed with the Dorseys. Miller Band Formed In 1937 Miller decided to begin his own orchestra, but it was the spring of 1939 before the public became aware of its existence. Miller then entered the Army with the rank of Captain in Oct., 1942, only to lose his life in a flight over the English channel in 1944. McKinley, during this time, stayed with Jimmy Dorsey's or chestra until he decided to join with Will Bradley and form a band. Then McKinley entered the service and served with Miller. Later he went back to Ft. Worth where he became a disc jockey. After having television shows, organizing bands, and playing the drums with other bands, McKinley became the director of the Miller hand. He uses Miller's entire mu sic library and has the backing of the Miller estate. Today the Glenn Miller music is made available to the American public under the direction of and featuring Ray McKinley.
