The Taylorville Municipal Band continues its 2025 season with it’s third concert on Wednesday, June 25 at 7:00 PM. This week’s performance will take place at the Christian County Historical Society and is free and open to the public to attend.

As part of this year’s theme, “Play the Music Forward,” the band is spotlighting former members and alumni from both the band, and Taylorville High School. These special guests will be featured throughout the season as performers, soloists, and conductors. Donations collected during the season go toward the ‘Play the Music Forward’ fund, which helps support music programs at Taylorville schools.

This week's concert welcomes several special guests, including author and educator Fred Durbin, a former band member, who will be performing in the trombone section. The concert also features several members of the Ninmer family. Ron Ninmer will be recognized as a featured composer. Jean Ninmer and Breanna Flanagan will join the clarinet section and will be highlighted as soloists. Kennedy Ninmer will also be featured as a soloist. Scott Ninmer will perform in the euphonium section and will contribute both as a soloist and composer. Mark Ninmer rounds out the family group as a percussionist and soloist.

The evening’s program includes a diverse selection of pieces such as ‘Pace Fanfare’ by Scott Ninmer, ‘Emperata Overture’ by Claude T. Smith, ‘For Good’ by Steven Schwartz and arranged by Scott Ninmer, ‘At a Dixieland Funeral’ by Jared Spears, and the classic ‘King Cotton March’ by John Philip Sousa.
