Music Man's Seventy-Six Trombones Seventy-si trombones led the big parade to four performances of The Music Man. The cast, orchestra, and directors, Miss Delores Feldt, Mrs. Launa Carter, and Ms. Candice Dexheimer, received a fitting reward for all of their efforts by the many standing ovations. The plot revolved around Professor Harold Hill (Dan Barrett), a con-man who posed as a traveling salesman. He would travel from town to town selling band instruments and supposedly organizing boys' bands. He would then leave town before getting caught w ith his scheme. The curtain opened on the train to River City, Harold's next stop. There he met opposition with Marian Paroo (Mary Seward), the librarian, and Mayor Shinn (Tim Pinnow'), who suspected his phony gimmick. The plot thickened as the school board continuously pestered Harold for his credentials. But Harold cleverly diverted their attention by turning them into a singing quartet. Harold also avoided any possible trouble with the snooty townswomen by encouraging them to participate in Del Sarte dancing, featuring the Grecian Urns. All-the-w'hile, Harold was pursuing Marian, who ironically was falling in love with him despite her suspicion. The climax occurred when Charlie Cowell (Alfred Cerbins), also a traveling salesman, exposed Harold's fraud just prior to the Ice Cream Sociable where the boys' band was going to supposedly play. The townspeople were infuriated and went to hunt Harold down to get their money back. In Harold's defense, Marian tried to explain all the good that Harold contributed to River City. Then just as it appeared that all was lost for Harold, his supposed boys' band marched into the town meeting to save his hide. One of the high school's own English teachers, Mr. Dan Prueher, made a special appearance at one of the performances as the former Harold Hill in Parker High School's production of The Music Man. He was warmly received as he led the chorus in another stanza of Seventy-Six Trombones. CLOCKWISE, UPPER LEFT: M. Seward and D. Barrett pose as the happy couple.
