Adam West is the guest presenter and announces 'The Dapper Dans" as the winners at the end of the program. "The Dapper Dans" (Don Lindstrom - tenor, Mahlon Schanzenbach - lead, Doug Strawn - baritone, Mike Gallup - bass) are the first act on the show, singing Mahlon's arrangement of "Mame," orchestrated and accompanied by Ivan Ditmars and His Orchestra. At the time, all of the men attended college or were teaching at college while performing at Disneyland during the summer, weekends and holidays. The quartet did a wonderful job on the show, including their energetic choreographed routine. In addition to "The Dapper Dans" (representing California State at Long Beach,) the other competitors were folk singer Sue Eldred (American Musical and Dramatic Academy of New York,) trumpeter Daniel Donahoe (Carnegie Institute) and pop singer Charlene Piasecki (Marquette University,) all vying for the $1000 first prize. "The Dapper Dans" were brought back on a later episode on December 27, 1968, to compete in the semi-finals, but finished in second place on that show. See less
