Diane Dobbs and Bemie Krapausky seem to enjoy the atmosphere of the sidewalk cafe. May 2, 1964 marked the opening night for the 1963-1964 Parisian Gardens. The gym had been transformed into a garden wonderland. The coronation platform was encircled by hedges with rose covered trellises behind the throne. The band was also enclosed with hedges. The sidewalk cafe was separated from the dance floor by trellises covered with vines and flowers. The focal point was the small bridge in the center of the dance floor. The high point of the evening was the coronation. As the time drew near, Jim Yingling and Richard Engle, acting as carpet bearers, unrolled the royal carpet. The Courts crossed the bridge to the strains of the Senior theme song, Blue Moon. After the King and Queen had been crowned, they and the Courts danced the Coronation Dance to the Junior theme song, Under Paris Skies. The music of Lew Harker's band drew many people to the dance floor.
