"Professor" Harold Hill is the main character of the play "The Music Man". He is a famous con artist known by the traveling salesmen. They talk about him all of the time. He goes to cities promising that he will teach the children music and form a band, but he doesn't do that at all. Once the uniforms and instruments are paid for, he leaves the city with the money before anyone can catch him. Harold Hill is one of those guys who can work well with the crowd. Well, he has to! He can sway a crowd at the snap of his fingers with his smooth talking. And if that doesn't work, then he can always woo the one woman who is usually against the whole idea, in this case, Marian Paroo the librarian. He can also seem to make any bad situation a very good one (for him of course). Take this example: on independence day, when the bad boy tommy shoots off a firecracker during the town meeting, professor hill hooks him up the with mayors daughter, sways that that new pool table caused this behavior and that making a band would fix all of this, and while the school board tries to get his credentials, he quickly gets them to form a barber shop quartet. But why did he avoid his credentials. Oh yeah, he doesn't have any. He was never a music teacher. To avoid this, he said he went to Gary Conservatory in his home town of Gary Indiana. he said the was the gold medalist class of '05, but they town wasnt even build till '06! Ho boy it looks like he is in trouble now. No he didnt get caught, he fell in love. We truely believe that he is now a normal guy who really likes Marian, until Charlie comes and tell marian he has a girl "every county in Illinois, and he's taken it from every one of them – and that's 102 counties!". Now we see the true side of him, until he actually does fall in love with Marian the librarian. And it ends with him being the good guy we all wanted him to be.

A man stands up and says "Nice talking to you, I might have to give Iowa a shot." As he grabs his suitcase, it clearly says Harold Hill on it. When he arrives to the city, he meets an old friend marcus. Marcus tells him about a new pool table they got. Well, harold hill tells the people of the town how "you've got trouble, right here in river city, and begins with t which rhymes with p which stands for pool." He lerans about the only woman who knows about music, marian the librarian and he tries to woo her. she ignores him. The next day (independence day)f, when the rowdy boy Tommy sets off a firecracker during the social, harold hill gets to work. He tells the town that a band could solve all of this. As he is about to leave, the ladies of the town warn him that marian is a bad woman and you shouldn't go after her. Harold Hill continues to hit on marian and she continues to ignore him. She learns about some evidence that could go against his credentials, but once she sees the excitement in her little brothers eyes about the new instruments coming to town, she tears up the book before anyone can see it.

The next day, Marian asks Harold that he hasnt taught the boys any of the notes and doesnt deem this important. why is that? he explains that he uses the think system and that you just need to think about the correct notes, then they will happen. That night, the school board tries to get harold's credentials, but he distracts them with a quartet, and slips away. Charlie Cowell comes in town to show the mayor the evidence against professor hill. Marian distracts him (kisses him) and makes him get on the train where he yells that Harold Hill has been with hundreds of women, and you are just like all of them. Harold comes by and tells her the untrue rumors he heard about her, and she believes that things charlie said must be untrue too. (HUGE, this is the part before my song!!!!) They agree to meet later that night on the footbridge. Marian tells him about how big of a difference he has made in her life. Then they sing til there was you. Marcellus interupts them and warns Harold to leave, but Harold says he can't just leave. Marian tells him that she knows he is a fraud, but she doesnt care, she loves him. The next day Charlie comes back and tells the evidence against Mr. Hill. Marian tries to tell the town that he has done exactly what he said he would do, but no one will listen. The constable cuff him, and lead him off to jail for the night. The next day, when they are trying to determine what to do with him, tommy (the drum major) leads the "marching band" of the town. Even thought they are horrible, the town loves it to death. It ends with Harold Hill and Marian embracing.

The End!
