Figure 1.---This is the dance scene in the River CityHigh School gym. Professor Hill is trying tgo sell the idea of a boy's marching band. Girls were allowed to participate, I guess as long as they bought an instrument. |

"The Music Man" was a musical and like many other American nusicals, there were several notable dance scenes. The two I recall best are scenes in the school gym and another in the library. The gym scene includes children of all ages. The library scene is done by the older students. There is also a major scene at the end, but this seems more a parade than a dance scene. The children begin in their regular clothes, but them are transformed into a wonderful uniformed marching band. Perhaps readers who know more about sance will be able to tell us more.
