Offered here are a couple swing tunes performed the Dartmouth College Barbary Coast Orchestra.  Night and Day sounds a lot like a Glenn Miller arrangement with a little twist.  Alamo sort has a Dorsey feel to it.  

These are studio recordings done Dec 7, 1942 at a recording studio in Hanover, New Hampshire.  Not a lot of information about this orchestra during the war years.  Can't find these tunes referenced anywhere.  Might be rare.
