AMERICA SINGS MEGA POST PART 3 - Press items and the Carousel Theater swings again!!
AMERICA SINGS OPENING JUNE 29, 1974
for the ceremonies Count Basie, Carol DeKeyser -Disneyland's 1974 Ambassador and Mickey Mouse.
NOTE the Sam The Eagle costume character!!
Elaborate Press Kit & the famous press gift: a casting of a Blaine Gibson Sam The Eagle maquette!!
The maquette originally came in a circular plastic tube-container with America Sings graphics and ornate scroll work printed on the outside in gold and white. You'll need a ticket to get one of these, and you will only get ONE --no matter how many kids you have back at home!
The press was also given a rare sample album of the soundtrack in a special packaged version as a preview of the show --but just-in-case you need another, here's an insert to let you know you will be able to BUY additional albums!!
Let's dig into the press kit!!!!!
I love the press information book!
Here's a sample --but the kit has tons of press releases
And some great photos --I think mine is missing the Carousel Theater nite-time photo--darn it!!!
Let's go inside and see what AMERICA SINGS is all about!
Oops! I think we missed the entry ramp! Come back and join TOMORROWLOUNGE in MEGA POST PART 4 and we'll go inside and check things out!!

Mike, super cool mega post so far!!! Thank you for sharing your collection with us. So THAT is what the Sam the Eagle walk-around character looked like...I've been curious ever since your comment on my "America Sings Weekend" post back in February. I can't wait for your next installment in this series!
That press kit is pretty incredible. I presume that the copy of the Sam statue is yours? What a treasure!
