The Bongo is a model of bass guitar manufactured by Music Man, a division of Ernie Ball.  It was first introduced at the NAMM Show on March 21, 2003.  Ernie Ball president Sterling Ball designed the instrument in conjunction with the Music Man Research and Development department and BMW's Designworks team.  It boasts an 18-volt 4-band preamp (except on the single-pickup model, which has a 3-band preamp; single-pickup models with piezo bridges have a 4-band preamp) designed by Dudley Gimpel with help from Cliff Hugo and other Music Man artists.  It also sports a sleek, carved basswood body with high-gloss polyester finish and a satin-finish painted 34" scale maple neck with rosewood fingerboard (pau ferro on lined or unlined fretless, ebony on both fretted and fretless "stealth" basses) featuring 24 high-profile wide frets and crescent moon-shaped position inlays.  These basses are generally known for their dual humbucking pickup configuration, as they are the first twin humbucker-equipped models released by Music Man since the introduction of their Sabre and Cutlass bass guitars in the late 1970s. <SEP> The Artists' Studio (TAS) was founded by David and Joellyn Young in January 2003 as an independent for-profit community theatre.  The couple each have experience on Broadway with David being a musical director and voice teacher who has traveled with Broadway shows such as Camelot, South Pacific, and The Music Man while Joellyn has most notably been Eva Perón in Evita.  The theatre, located in Fishers, Indiana is primitively based as it was renovated from a night club and a stage was added.  Despite being in Fishers, Noblesville considers TAS to be one of its own places of interest.  The proscenium stage is made of classic design and allows for a variety of different trims to be placed around as well as the movement of the back wall, though there is no fly space.  The remaining space allows for a 220-seat house complete with sound and lighting systems, office space, and classrooms. Cast, crew, and various other members are volunteers with few employed within the productions themselves. <SEP>  The plot concerns con man Harold Hill, who poses as a boys' band organizer and leader and sells band instruments and uniforms to naive Iowa townsfolk, promising to train the members of the new band.  Harold is no musician, however, and plans to skip town without giving any music lessons. The Music Man is a musical with book, music, and lyrics by Meredith Willson, based on a story by Willson and Franklin Lacey.  Prim librarian and piano teacher Marian sees through him, but when Harold helps her younger brother overcome his lisp and social awkwardness, Marian begins to fall in love.  Harold risks being caught to win her. <SEP> Adelaide Bishop (23 June 1928 – 20 June 2008) was an American operatic soprano, musical theatre actress, opera director, stage director, and voice teacher.
