ABSTRACT

“Harold Hill’s jacket has the need to be reversible. Outwardly it looks like a normal, run-of-the-mill, turn-of-the-century white linen suit jacket. While he is peddling his wares, he turns the jacket inside out to become a band jacket, allowing him an easy transition from the average-Joe Salesman to an inspirational leader of the children, leading them out of all things evil towards music.
