| Setting: River City, Iowa. 1912. Professor Hill is a travelling sales/con man. He pitches the idea of musical education as a tool to prevent teenage boys from falling into vice ( Ya Got Trouble ), painting a majestic picture of a marching band ( 76 Trombones ). His scheme calls for selling lots of expensive musical instruments and band uniforms, but skipping out before the townsfolk discover he his background in musical education is phony. | |||||
