Shuffling on down
The two weeks leading to Super Bowl XX, local schools were getting into the spirit with their own pep rallies and versions of the famous Super Bowl Shuffle. St. John Lutheran School had an all-school pep rally where teachers performed the “St. John Shuffle.” The Review reported, “The performance was a perfect mix of verve and artistry.”
Kindergarteners at Field Stevenson performed their own version of the “Shuffle” at their school’s Bears Day event, which aired on WGN-TV that evening.
The local boosters no doubt helped the Chicago Bears dominate the New England Patriots 46-10 on Jan. 26, 1986, the last Super Bowl victory for Chicago.
