The title of the song is: At the Woodchopper's Ball. That was Woody Herman's first hit recording. The original record was made April 12. 1939. This film will likely have been made a little later. However not later then 1942, since the sound is still that of "The Band that Plays the Blues".
Sixteen year old Donald O'Connor was also a member. This was before he and Peggy broke out of the pack and became stars. He appears to be buried in the back row here.

This is such a great tap production number, but too bad it's so blurry.

Does anyone have videos of Verda Jenkins dancing?
I cannot find where is Donald.😥 This video is super blurry and I think he never gets any close-up shot here.😭😭😭
He's the last one to come on stage in the beginning. Towards the end, he's at the far back right as far as I can tell.
Peggy Ryan was one of the girls.
to bad after the war it was the end of the dance troupe and big band
Yes very too bad
