The Dynamic Swing Machine is a non-profit organization with strong roots in Fort Worth. Beginning as an employee activity of Lockheed-Martin and predecessor organizations, the band has now evolved into a community wide orchestra featuring professional entertainers from across the North Texas region. Having performed at many of the most prestigious events across the Southwest the Dynamic Swing Machine has become a go-to organization for event planners.
The Dynamic Swing Machine is composed of professional musicians who are also members of the local community in the professions of engineering, medical, science, education, communications and service organizations.
