Music and dancing evoke that period, with swing music for the jitter- bugs and ballads for romantic slow dancing. Prominent local DJ Randy Ray, who was a big hit at the SCA’s Wedding Party Dance last season, will spin the tunes, evoking the USO radio shows of the World War II era. Reinforcing the theme, Bob Hope and Marilyn Monroe impersonators will put in an appearance to “entertain the troops.” For those who need to brush up on their dance steps from the period, there will be Swing Into The Era dance lesson begin- ning at 6:30 p.m. as well as a demonstration dance during the party by Enchanted Ballroom professionals Susan Scott and David Flory. The SCA is using this enjoyable theme to help honor and say thank you to our Event Sponsor nation’s veterans from all conflicts past.

Also, anyone who can still fit into their old uniform or party dress from the era should dust it off and wear it to the dance to help set the theme.

For Remembering The USO, the event partner is the Lee Coast chapter of the Military Officers Association of America.
