Parker, an inventive slacker, begins practice for his independent study project on the final weekend of the school year.  He is supposed to rehearse and conduct a performance of the William Tell Overture.  Only his rival, the violinist, has looked at the score and so Parker decides to resurrect the tactics of the infamous disco duo Milli Vanilli and lip sync the classic piece.  Things progress well until technical difficulties create the most unique interpretation of the Rossini masterpiece that the world has yet experienced.  The unusual play was created to either be performed with live music as a collaboration between the theatre and music departments or as a lip synced event.
