of the "regulars", you had to stand outside and wait until a guy would come outside and choose those that could go in. On the few occasions that I got in line, I did get to attend. As we wore uniforms in Catholic school and the nuns forbid us to go to Bandstand in uniform, we had to alter our appearance with crew neck sweaters and collars tucked in. Yikes! Actually, that made it more fun!
