Rehearsal Philosophy
• 2 P’s: Prompt and prepared. Arrive on time and come to each rehearsal with an idea in mind (i.e. characterization, know where we are in the story, etc.).
• Practice at home! Though direction, characterization, and blocking are provided, you need to do some work outside of rehearsal (i.e. memorize your lines and lyrics).

The Rehearsal Schedule
• The February schedule is outlined for you. We’re planning to frontload vocals and acting first as much as possible; choreography will be intertwined throughout. It’s VERY important to be at choreography rehearsals…the choreographer has limited availability.
• March schedule – it’s a skeleton as of now. Look for a detailed calendar soon. It will be e-mailed, posted on Weebly, etc.

The Story
Slippery salesman Harold Hill arrives at the stuffy town of River City, Iowa in July of 1912 intending to cheat the community with his standard scam of establishing a boy's marching band. The irony is he has no musical skills whatsoever; in fact, he’s only there to make money and is a notorious con-artist.
Things go awry when he falls for a librarian he tries to divert from exposing him while he inadvertently enriches the town with a love of music.

My Vision
• River City, Iowa = Drab, dull, non-descript place; inhabitants are old and set in their ways
• Color and change = Harold and his impact on others provides the dynamics and development; though he is a swindler, Harold has the ability to use his “magic” to unlock the good in each of the citizens (Marian, Winthrop, Tommy, Quartet, Eulalie, etc.)
