Le marchand de fanfares

Another day, another scheme in the heartland, where charm outweighs sheet music. A smooth-talking salesman convinces a skeptical Iowa town he can turn their kids into marching musicians—for a fee, naturally. The band never plays a note, but somehow the con still hits the right chord.
