Bandstand is in movie theaters and I saw it and it is so good for so many reasons. I went to go see it with my mother and she wants all of my relatives to see it, since the majority of them are veterans. Guys this show means so much to so many people. Not to mention the fantastic music, lighting, choreography, instrumentation, and of course acting. (This show deserved so much more than it received)
