Sounds like he had a problem and was doing a zoom climb to get enough altitude to eject. The Tutor is a great little machine for the kind of show the Snowbirds do but being old I guess it doesn't have modern zero level ejection seats.

Kind of surprised that no one here is suggesting that the show be shut down...
