The Taylorville Municipal Band is set to begin its 2024 season with a series of summer concerts starting on Wednesday, June 19. The performances will be held every Wednesday evening at 7:00 PM through August 7 at the Christian County Historical Society.

Taylorville Municipal Band Director Chris Gunn said, this season promises a wide variety of music, guest soloists, and even a themed concert. There will be something for everyone.

The opening concert on June 19 will feature an array of musical selections including "Strike Up The Band" by George Gershwin, "March Electric" by Giuseppe Creatore, and "Mars" from "The Planets" by Gustav Holst, among others. The band will also play classics like "Summertime" by Gershwin and "America The Beautiful" arranged by Carman Dragon.

The group values its partnership with the Christian County Historical Society. Gunn stated that the Historical Society grounds are the perfect pastoral setting for a summer concert series and the band enjoys performing there each week.
