The Commemorative Air Force and the Henry B. Tippie National Aviation Education Center will host its Second Annual evening of dinner and dance, The Victory Ball, on Saturday, February 25, 2023, at Dallas Executive Airport. This year’s ball will feature live music by the one and only Tommy Dorsey's Orchestra, a cocktail reception, and a VIP Meet & Greet with members of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and General Ron Fogleman, retired from the USAF with thirty-four years of active commissioned service. The evening will include a cocktail hour, a three-course dinner, an open bar, and plenty of time to dance the night away. Guests will enjoy the night in a re-created World War II-era setting, including the historic aircraft, C-47 That's All, Brother,

and P-51 Tuskegee Airmen.

The Victory Ball aims to bring together community, industry, and trade leaders for a night of jazz and dancing. Ticket proceeds will benefit the educational programs of these organizations.

Attire

Fashionable Vintage 1940's Cocktail Attire

We encourage people to dress in their best vintage party attire for the ball, so think of old Hollywood glam or vintage military attire. As an alternative, modern cocktail attire.

Please note: We ask that attendees refrain from wearing Japanese or Nazi uniforms or clothing with the

Confederate flag. Anyone wearing these outfits will be asked to change or leave.

Live at The Victory Ball!

In Big Band history, Tommy Dorsey's Orchestra is recognized as one of the best all-around dance bands! Tommy Dorsey, "The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing", was a master of creating warm, sentimental, and always musical moods - at superb dancing and listed tempos. Tommy sustained these moods through the arrangements of Paul Weston, Axel Stordahl, and Sy Oliver, and showcased singers who could project them brilliantly. The music world lost Tommy at an early age, but his legacy of great music has transcended time. The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra still represents explosive and swinging Big Band entertainment at its very best!

Join us on the dance floor, on February 25, 2023!
