The 2025 Taylorville Municipal Band concert season will be presented at the Christian County Historical Society in Taylorville.  The weekly concerts, under the direction of Mr. Chris Gunn, will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday evenings beginning on June 11th through July 30th.

The band is excited to announce the concerts this summer will feature Taylorville Municipal Band alumni soloists, directors, and families as special guests through out the season.   The Taylorville Municipal Band has a rich history of families with multiple generations of players.

In June of 2011, the Taylorville Municipal Band hosted a special alumni reunion concert fundraiser called “Play the Music Forward.”  Taylorville High School alumni band and choir members performed with the Municipal Band.  The purpose of that concert was to create a fund for extra purchases for the Music Departments of all ages in the Taylorville School District.  

Building on the success of that previous event, contributions to that fund will be collected at this summer’s Taylorville Municipal Band concerts.  There will also be souvenir merchandise available to purchase with all proceeds going to the Play the Music Forward fund of the Taylorville Public Schools.

Alumni Municipal Band members who would like to participate in the band at one of the concerts may contact Band Manager, Jan Phillips with your availability at 217 824-2967.  Out of town alumni might want to plan a visit to Taylorville this summer!    More information about the featured guests will be available soon.
