It was standing room only Friday night, as several hundred students from the Taylorville School District, Visionway Christian School, and St. Mary’s Catholic School, combined for the annual Spring Music Festival at the Taylorville High School West Gym.

The 2-hour concert featured the combined Elementary Chorus, Combined 6th and 7th Grade Choirs, the combined Taylorville High School Choirs, the Combined 5th Grade Cadet Band, 6th Grade Band, Junior High Band, the Taylorville Senior High Concert Band, and the Finale which was the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” performed by the Combined Groups.

The combined Elementary Chorus performed “Music from the 1950’s” and here’s a portion of their version of “Rock Around the Clock”.

The annual Spring Music Festival is the climax of months of work by the music directors at the various schools.
