Hastings Community Education

The citizens of River City have got trouble... That's a capital T that rhymes with P and stands for "Professor" Harold Hill. He's a charming, fast-talkin traveling salesman who goes city to city starting youth marching bands. Hill promises to teach the kids and raises the money to purchase the instruments and uniforms. There's just one person who can't tell the difference between a trombone and a treble clef - Professor Hill. Everyone is simply enamored by Professor Hill, everyone except for the suspicious town librarian, Marian Paroo.
