The Taylorville High School Choirs will present the annual Fall Demonstration Concert on Thursday, Oct. 5 beginning at 7:00p in the THS Cafeteria. This first concert of the year serves as a demonstration of the learning process that the students go through while preparing for the performance. In addition to several finished songs, the combined THS Choirs will present some of the warm-up and vocal flexibility exercises that are used in the classroom.
The THS Choirs will be previewing several pieces of music from the Illinois Music Educators Association District 5 Music Festival, which will take place on November 18 on the campus of Eastern Illinois University. These pieces include a gospel style song called “Sing Out My Soul”, a beautiful contemporary choral piece called “The Sun Never Says”, a mashup of two popular Broadway songs called “Found/Tonight”, and the traditional spiritual “Daniel, Daniel, Servant of the Lord”.
31 THS students and staff joined together at the flagpole for See You At The Pole to pray for our government and city leaders, staff, and students. This was our FCA.
