These photos were taken in August of 1967 at the 10th anniversary of American Bandstand. Keep in mind that Bandstand started as a local show in October of 1952 with Dick Clark taking over hosting duties in 1956. In August of 1957, the show went on the ABC-TV network and the network portions were re-titled, "American Bandstand." Local segments not aired on the network were still called simply "Bandstand." Thus this was at the 10th anniversary of the network show.
