Taylorville Junior High School's 7th and 8th grade band students performed during Saturday’s Twilight Christmas Parade. The students added lights to their instruments, around their necks, and around Mrs. Ninmer's “conducting arms." They performed “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.”
Mrs. Ninmer commented that this was the 7th and 8th grade students' first parade and they sounded terrific!
Thank you this morning for our Christmas Ensemble. This morning's players were Lukas Cottingham, Sophia Thomas, Justin Champley, and Kai Albright. Thank you1
