Failing to impress the good ladies of River City, Iowa, Professor Harold Hill, played by Steve Ayers, center, demonstrates to the men how easy it is to sing in a barbershop quartet. "Just say the words then hold them for a long time," Ayers, a Smoky Mountain High School freshman, coaches, from left, Adam Walsh, Gabe Woody, Steven Gentile and Jared Ketzler. Unimpressed ladies, from left, are Grace Hanna, Jessica Sims, Julie Fox, Emily Crites and Ellen Hotaling. Western Carolina University's Hoey Auditorium will be transformed into the town of River City as SMHS presents "The Music Man" at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 12 and 13.
