In 1972, the Country Bear Jamboree opened in Disneyland as the main attraction of the park’s newest land, Bear Country. The show featured a zany troupe of bears performing country music. Characters would rise up to the stage on platforms, descend from the ceiling, and appear from behind curtains. The audience included animated animal heads mounted on the walls that would interact with the characters on stage. As part of a park-wide effort to reduce noise in themed attractions, MLA worked on the Bear Band attraction to address pneumatic actuator noise in the animatronic figures.
