On 4. May, 1976, Kiss played the River Trails Junior High School in Mt. Prospect, Illinois, for approximately 350 students who won the Chicago’s WCFL Radio “School Spirit Contest”. This was Kiss’ last performance in US with the “Alive!” costumes.
Sponsored by Mars Candy Co., the school that sent in the most wrappers by 17. April, 1976 (winner announced 20. April) would win a private show from Kiss. The contestants were individual schools in the Midwest with the goal of submitting as many index cards with the words “Mars Bar,” “Snickers,” or “Marathon Bar” on them.
The contest was won by River Trails Junior High in Mount Prospect (a suburb of Chicago), students who submitted over 10,000 index cards would have a chance to meet the band. Kiss performed the show in front of approximately 350 students.
Kiss used their full “Alive!” stage and pyro in front of 350 lucky students! The advertisement included shows Kiss’s “Alive!” album sitting in 7th position! Chicago’s WCFL Radio “School Spirit Contest,” was open to schools within 100 miles radius of the station.
There was a pizza party held with the band afterwards.
