Some of the songs that will be performed by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra include "Once In A While", "Marie", "Song of India", "Opus No. 1", and Buddy Morrow's own, "Night Train."

In Big Band history, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra is recognized as one of the best all-around dance bands.  It could swing with the best of them, and no other band could come close to Tommy’s when it came to playing ballads.  Tommy Dorsey, “The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing”, was a master at creating warm, sentimental, and always musical moods – at superb dancing and listening tempos. 

KCTC is a not-for-profit organization that provides services to adults with developmental disabilities.  All monies received from the event will support those programs and services for over 250 clients.
