Chapter 1 begins with an arrangement of the 60's psychedelic rock classic White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane, with Alice as she enters the 4th dreamscape Wonderland. In Chapter 2 Alice enters the Garden of Wonderland. A psychedelic land where she meets a cast of whacky characters. The opening to The Garden is loosely based on music from the film score Pollock but quickly moves into original music by Cadet arrangers Jay Bocook, Tom Aungst and Neil Larrivee.
Chapter 3 shows off Cadets powerhouse Percussion ensemble in 'The Mad Tea Party'. This arrangement is based on more of the innovative electronica/acid-house music by The Propellerheads. This Dance/Party section of the program revolves around the further antics of Alice and her new found friends from Wonderland.
The ballad 'I Am Your Shadow' comes from music by singer Lisa Gerrard. It is a haunting melody which will explore the combination of voice with the lush sounds of the Cadet Brass line and Front Ensemble. Alice now begins to understand that she may not be who she thinks she is and that Wonderland may not be real at all.
In the final chapter Alice gets trapped in the maze as she tries to find her way out of the Zone. The music 'Diaspora Dances' comes from the third section of Leonard Bernstein's final major orchestral work Concerto for Orchestra Jubilee Games'. (Source: drumcorpsplanet.com)
