Master showman Harold Hill is in town and he's got "seventy-six trombones" in tow. Can upright, uptight, Marian, the town librarian, resist his powerful allure? The story follows a fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize. The catch? He doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, whose belief in Harold's power just might help him succeed in the end in spite of himself.

Students are split into groups based on age and experience as well as participating in an all student number that will also be the class music video. To see examples of past performances, please visit 
SOTA's Youtube Channel. Each week, students will learn proper vocal technique, harmonization and stage presence in a group format. No previous experience is required. New students in Grades 4-12 should send a short clip of themselves singing a verse and/or chorus of any song not to exceed 45 seconds. This may be a clip of a previous vocal performance but treat this as an audition as it will effect vocal placement in class. Students may submit the clip as a video file to StandingOBoard@gmail.com.
