One of the most succesful presentations our 10 year old community theatre has ever been involved in was last month's commission of William Ogmundson's Benny Pierce--a musical about Hillsboro native, President Franklin Pierce. This unlikely idea for a musical theatre piece led into a discussion with Will of another even more unlikely idea--an operetta about a college marching band. Will would be using the Columbia Marching Band as the basis of his story but it will be universal.
