If you're not familiar with the Summertime Band, they were an animatronic band made by Dave Thomas, a lead artist for Creative engineering.
(Not my photo by the way..)
They were installed at Carrousel Park, an indoor 'kiddie' amusement center in Metcalf South Mall. I found some more information on them! Including a photo!!

^ This article mentions that there was a Gift Shop called "Miss. Felicia's Gifts and Souvenirs", if you didn't know, from some of the only footage we have of these guys, the dog on the very left is addressed as Felicia (Or That's what my ears hear). The gift shop in question sold a bunch of different stuff too!
"The gift shop, Miss Felicia's Gifts and Souvenirs, sells stick candy, twist pops and other items that recall days gone by while the popcorn and cotton-candy machines have an antique look.
There is even an old-style claw tub in the park, and you can redeem your tickets for antique looking toys and memorabilia." (quote taken from the article above.
Another interesting thing I found:

^^ This news article calls the "Summertime band" by a different name: "The Three Dog Afternoon" . The same section also mentions these bots to be " Made by the same people who made the ones at Disney World in Orlando". I've heard conflicting reports about who exactly made these bots, but I know Dave Thomas helped. If anyone knows who exactly was involved, let me know!
I dunno if people have seen this image before but... I found another image of them!
Its hard to make out, but, they're there! Here's the article itself I took it from:

One of my biggest finds was more modern footage of the stage itself!!
This is a tour of Carrousel Park that was taken back in 2013. The actual showcase of the stage starts at 2:32
I'll leave the full video here too!
You need to understand something before you start reading the rest of this, this is a theory. A theory I believe, but there's a chance I might be wrong.(Insert game theory joke here/j)
If you look at some of the only available footage, you will see a Pillar next to Miss. Felicia, (The dog on the very left.)
Now compare it to a screenshot of that more modern video.
Also look at 2:56 for a better idea.
To top things off for this theory, take another look at this brochure, the pillar is in the same spot. Not to mention the vines on it too.
To me, at least, this is the same stage shown in that more modern tour of Carrousel park. If anyone has a higher quality version of this brochure, please do share!
I hope y'all find this as interesting as I did! I hope that maybe someday we'll even have an archive of their showtape. I just want to document all that I can. These guys are really cool, and I hope for a day that someone like me won't have to dig too deep to find more info on them.
(Sorry for tagging some CEI related things, I just wanted to get this info out here and I know y'all would find this interesting!)
