The opening of Epcot was a huge celebration according to Since the World Began by Jeff Kurti "The 11:00 A.M. event started with a fanfare of trumpets, a dedication hymn by the West Point Glee Club, performances by the All-American College Marching Band, the International Ceremony of the waters ( a symbolic blending of water from across the globe, in the fountain behind Spaceship Earth), and a precision flyover by the Florida Air National Guard. " of course there were also speeches by Disney executives including the reading of the dedication plaque by Card Walker. About that fanfare of trumpets mentioned at the beginning of those events I wonder if any of those trumpeters were members of the Future Corps, in any case I'm betting the piece known as "Epcot Fanfare" which is also the melody of "We've Just Begun To Dream" is what they played. I seem to remember seeing a snippet of some of the opening of Epcot Celebrations being played as a part of some other program (not directly related to the Epcot opening) with dancers doing some kind of dance number on a stage in front of Spaceship Earth. For those of you who are not sure what music I am talking about part of the music was played in the morning a opening for many years and it went like this: (pulsating electronic music slowly rises then volume drops down as announcer begins to speak) Announcer (sounds like Jack Wagner): Good morning ladies and gentlemen boys and girls. All of us at Epcot center are glad to have you as our guests today, we welcome you and hope you find your day with us to be a most enjoyable one. Walt Disney was a dreamer and a doer, a man who cared about the world and its problems, he believed that people could develop solutions to problems if equipped with information, technology, and opportunity. Epcot center has been created to showcase prototype concepts and technologies that may someday serve people everywhere. This is the essence of Epcot Center a collective endeavor by people, for people in the hope for a better world. From all of us in the Disney family we hope you enjoy your stay in Epcot center. and now we ask for your safety and those around you that you walk slowly and carefully to your first destination. Have a great day and welcome to the 21st century

I wrote earlier of how Epcot seems to be the most complete Disney theme park at it's opening, this completeness comes in almost all facets of the park the landscaping the grand pavilions and attractions they contained along with restaurants and shops, even the music that went into all the attractions. This is especially true of the Future World attractions. All of the opening day Future World pavilions had at least one music track that made it onto the official album of Disneyland and Walt Disney World within a few years most had more than one!
