Kelowna’s 17-piece big band orchestra, The Dreamland Band, is preparing to host its annual benefit showcase at the Mary Irwin Theatre. 

Hosted on Friday, Feb. 21, the fundraising event will welcome an audience to enjoy original hits composed by the band’s lead alto sax player, Malcolm Green, along with a string of arrangments from composers such as Glenn Miller and Gordon Goodwin.
