ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – After two years of scheduling conflicts, the Glenn Miller Orchestra is set to play at the Wylie Performing Arts Center on February 21, 2023. The orchestra reached out to the High school band in 2021 about setting up a performance as a learning opportunity for the band students. Tickets are on sale now for $20, with all funds over the orchestra's fee going back to the band's operating fund. 'I, at first, didn't really think it was real. I thought I was being catfished or something… But then the guy emailed me back, and I was like, ‘oh, maybe this is real,' laughed Wylie Assistant Band Director and Jazz Band Director, Ashlyn Ray.
