Brassman53 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Just to add a little more to the tale of the '57 Legion Nationals... my Dad was a member of the Levittown Lovers Sr Corps ( Instructed by Reilly Raiders legend Frank McCormick) who entered the prelims with only a long enough show for prelims ( back in the day when you only had to do a 5 minute show for prelims). As the corps started getting DQ'd it became apparent that the Lovers had a shot at the finals, so legend has it that they were practicing that day attempting to put an 11 minute show together for finals. Fortunately ( or unfortunately as the case may be), they fell a few places short of finals. That year was the Lovers only competitive season, but it sure provided them with some "war' stroies to share to this day... Bob Cook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodb Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 As I have a recording of the Levittown Lovers performing an 11-minute-plus show in August of 1957, I'm afraid that story is just a suburban legend. Seeing the thread title made me think of another question. Why were the 1957 nationals held indoors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
