"bandstand" originally used "high society" by artie shaw as its theme song, but by the time the show went national, it had been replaced by various arrangements of charles albertine's "bandstand boogie," including larry elgart's big-band recording remembered by viewers of the daily version. from 1969 to 1974, "bandstand theme," a synthesized rock instrumental written by mike curb, opened each show. from 1974 to 1977, there was a newer, orchestral disco version of "bandstand boogie," arranged and performed by joe porter, played during the opening and closing credits.
