Maguiere The Music Man. Can He Take Our Schools Gala? (en Inglés) - Margaret L. Allen

Eleven-year-old Maguire Elgin is an avid baseball player who also plays the piano. An orchestra is to be formed in his small elementary school in order to participate in a Gala for the Year of the Child Project, and they have teamed up with another smaller school in order to expand the orchestra. All interested students must audition for a part in the orchestra. Students get the required music from their music teacher Mrs. Templeton and begin practicing for this important audition.

On the weekend before his audition on the piano, Maguire gets sick and misses his chance. But all does not go well at the first dress rehearsal, and the Principal must find a replacement before they must perform the following spring. All their hopes are on Maguire, and everyone wonders If he is the one to get them to the Gala for this important performance, The Year of the Child Gala.
