Marc Sylvester, the architect of the program said, "We have a long way to go in terms of developing this idea but, as of today, we certainly have enough to move forward. We have listened to every CD, we have discussed the visual treatment, and we have even started sketches or costumes. We are at a place where we know where we are going".

George Hopkins, the director of the Cadets noted, "At some level, what is intriguing about the show is the musical possibility. Having the chance to show the world that it is not necessary to play the latest concert band selection to be successful is exciting in its own right. Play Metheny, play Beethoven, or play Tull just make it exciting, play well, and the world will love you.".

Tom Aungst, Don Hill, Marc Sylvester, Jeff Sacktig, and Hopkins have been in conversations through the band season, but only now, are the ideas being put to paper. This weekend at the YEA! audition camp, discussions will be conducted from late at night until early in the morning. Come Thanksgiving, the arrangements will begin to come to life and on December 12th, the 2004 Cadets will begin to rehearse this new, exciting, and somewhat unconventional program.

The program is not about JETHRO TULL, but rather, the presentation utilizes the group's music as the base for the exploration. Early concepts rotate around the look of the minstrel, a juxtaposition of musical styles, the differences and similarities of men and women, and ... so much more. Visual composition, visual integration, and a high level of coordination will be the Hallmarks of this ground breaking program.
