Welcome. Thank you for joining us all today and welcome to the beautiful Hyperion Theater. All of us at the Disneyland Resort are just thrilled that you've decided to join us here today as we showcase our newest shows and attractions for this holiday season and beyond. Right here at the Hyperion Theater our newest offering will premiere November 22nd, just one week away. Disney's California Adventure is the place that we want us our guests to always count on us providing them with the newest most eclectic and innovative entertainment. We are absolutely thrilled today to be able to welcome to our already extraordinary lieup of family entertainment, straight from Broadway, the 2001 Tony receipient for the absolute best in theatrical events, The Power of Blast! And in a minute you're going to see an example of this and I think you will agree with us that this is just perfect for the whole family, the celebration of song, dance, music. Well, it'll blast your socks off, so I'll let it speak for itself.

So it is at this time really my pleasure to be able to introduce a very special guest and he is lifelong veteran of the drum and bugle corps as well as other

Musical activities and probably his first major accomplishment was being able to shape an already just superb drum and bugle corps from the Midwest into the legend that it is today.

And probably what heis best known for is his most impressive accomplishment which is what you'll see now which is Blast! which has come to Disney's California Adventure. So it is my great pleasure to introduce to all of you the creator and artistic director for the Power of Blast! Jim Mason.
