The stage is set, the instruments tuned, and voices harmonized as Taylorville gears up to present its much-anticipated annual Spring Music Festival. On Friday evening, April 26th, at 7:00 p.m., music aficionados of all ages are invited to gather at the THS West gymnasium for an evening brimming with talent and tradition.

A cornerstone of the community, this long-standing tradition showcases the musical prowess of students ranging from 4th grade to High School, embodying the district's commitment to nurturing artistic excellence and fostering a love for music among its students.

The festival will kick off with enchanting choir performances, each ensemble promising to enchant the audience with their melodic renditions. The 4th and 5th-grade choir will lead the way, inviting attendees to embark on a musical journey as they "move through music," while the combined 6th, 7th & 8th-grade choirs will illuminate the stage with their radiant voices in the "Sunshine Medley.” Closing the choir segment will be the combined THS choirs, paying homage to the legendary rock and roll band with horns, Chicago, with arrangements by the talented Dorian Chase, a proud graduate of the THS class of 2020.

Following the choir performances, the instrumental section of the event will commence, promising a symphonic delight for all in attendance. The 5th-grade band will set the stage with "The Lost Tomb," showcasing their musical talent. The 6th-grade band will then take the audience on a nostalgic journey with music from Journey, including hits like "Anyway You Want It / Don't Stop Believin'." Meanwhile, the 7th & 8th-grade band will transport listeners to the electrifying world of the movie "Grease" with their lively renditions. Bringing the instrumental segment to a crescendo will be the THS band, enthralling the audience with "Imaginarium," a musical masterpiece that promises to stir the imagination.

As the evening draws to a close, attendees will unite in a stirring finale, as the combined ensembles come together to perform the timeless classics "God Bless America" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic," a fitting tribute to unity, patriotism, and the enduring power of music to inspire and uplift.

With anticipation building and melodies echoing in the air, the Taylorville community eagerly awaits the arrival of April 26th, when the THS West gymnasium will be transformed into a veritable symphonic oasis, resonating with the harmonious strains of the Spring Music Festival.
