The Big Band Ballroom Bash inside Warren Hill Gym, on USM’s Gorham campus (47 Campus Ave.), will take you back to the wild jazz-fueled parties of the 1940s — whether you were there at the time or not. The USM Jazz Ensemble and Portland Jazz Orchestra will provide the music, and USM dance students will help you learn the foxtrot, starting at 6 p.m. Tix: $25 ($35 per couple). 780-5555. usm.maine.edu.
