76-Trombone Celebration of the Life and Music of
Meredith Willson

********************************************************

That lovable scalawag Professor Harold Hill thought there was lots and lots of trouble in River City. Might have been true in 1912. But now the music and fun is back with a bang at "The Music Man Square" in Mason City, Iowa.

Mason City's rich musical heritage inspired Meredith Willson to use his hometown as the setting for one of America's favorite musicals, The Music Man. So it seemed only natural to celebrate the life and music of Meredith Willson by developing this multi-million dollar complex adjoining his boyhood home, not only to honor him but to sustain the spirit of "River City, Iowa."
