Last week The Music Man Junior, a shorter version of the American classic musical by Meredith Wilson, graced the Middle School stage. Directed by Lucas Hibbard and Cyndy Howell, the play depicts how con-artist Harold Hill solves the 'trouble in River City' when a pool table comes to town by getting citizens to sign up for a band. Naturally Hill is the one selling the instruments and the uniforms, teaching them to play using his 'think system,' which is no system at all. By sheer enthusiasm the children manage to play '76 Trombones' and all the other instruments in the band by the finale.
