Thanks for this. I was in that chorus on that day in 1971, and it's still one of the best memories of my life.

I hope they have a choir singing when you wish upon a star again for next year, cause in 2021, Disney World will be celebrating its 50th anniversary!

[@gracebusen1453]

I FINALLY HIT THE HIGH NOTE AT THE END OF TRUE!! LETS GO!!!

[@danalong1237]

Super Bowl 50 recently ended the same way Walt Disney World's grand opening ended, with a large choir, a 100-piece symphony orchestra, a large marching band and Lee Greenwood performing a medley of "The Star-Spangled Banner," "America the Beautiful," "This Is My Country" and Greenwood's own "God Bless the USA."

Wow! What a good find! Awesome!

[@Hamstergirl71]

Aww, this is nice. I was 5 months old- probably the reason I'm such a WDW nut. We're the same age!

[@x-fun3149]

It's the lack of stuff around it

[@zacheryalderton5328]

please take me soon when it reopens soon

[@zacheryalderton7721]

next time please take me 1 day

[@cess2208]

Hi Ryan, my father Tomas Oliva is one of the original members of the World Symphony Orchestra of 1971 conducted by Arthur Fielder. They performed as part of the Walt Disney World inauguration. I'm wondering if you have a video of that performance. I've created a Facebook page for the WSO and would live to include it there. Have a look facebook.com/WorldSymphonyOrchestra/

[@HHGFHJGFHJGFJTYFJDGY]

Hi! I don't have any more footage unfortunately. This comes from a program broadcast on the Disney Channel. You'll find that in full elsewhere on KZbin, but I don't think what you're looking for is included. But keep looking! There's always new footage surfacing of these things.

[@Killiansuniverse]

What is the name of that choir????

[@danalong1237]

One can only assume that it was The Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

[@zacheryalderton5328]

@@danalong1237 please take me when it reopens very very soon

[@redique]

@muffles12 wait till the 50th

[@SunsetVidsOfficial]

The Wait is done Walt Disney World turn 50 years today

[@joeyjuarez1]

The once PC-free world...smh...

[@x-fun3149]

Only three years later in 1974, Disney would have to change America Sings as the Wild West part contained sections that guests found offensive towards Mexicans.

Forget to see an American flag waving in the unAmerican Disney Parks from the anti-American Disney of today.
