The Music Man

What a treat!  Tonight we went to Lovejoy ISD's High School auditorium to watch The Music Man, both Blake and Baylor were in the cast! I think this was Abigail's first time in a 'school building.' 

The 1957 original Broadway plot centers around con man Harold Hill, who poses as a boys' band organizer and leader and sells band instruments and uniforms to naive townsfolk before skipping town with the cash. In River City, Iowa, prim librarian and piano teacher Marian Paroo sees through him, but when Hill helps her younger brother overcome his fear of social interactions due to his lisp, Marian begins to fall in love with Harold. Harold, in turn falling for Marian, risks being caught to win her.

The kids were fantastic, the music, props, costumes were all first class! Bravo Blake & Baylor, we're so proud of you!  You hard work showed!

Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with timbrel and harp.
Psalm 149:3
