76 Trombones

Tonight is the night Stan and I have been waiting for since last year.
Last year, at this time, Young Harris College, performed "Chicago". We sat
entranced while these kids danced and sang their way across the stage and
into our hearts.

Tonight is opening night for The Music Man!
Over 40 years ago, Stan and I worked as ushers at the Shubert Theatre in
Detroit and a chance to see Forrest Tucker in the traveling version of The
Music Man. No, it wasn't Robert Preston. But, we didn't care. It was The
It was Detroit, at a magical time.

Snipped a bit:

You are going to have such a wonderful time!

Our regional high school puts on at least one musical every year and
the kids are unbelievably good singers and dancers.

Seventy-six trombones caught the morning sun
With a hundred and ten cornets right behind
There were more than a thousand reeds
Springing up like weeds
There were horns of ev'ry shape and kind.

While I am sure the small stage at Young Harris College will not hold 76

What fun! I love live theater, and I love The Music Man, so it sounds like
an ideal combination. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and usually an
on-stage performance is even better.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
