Eternal God and Father, Who reveals Yourself in the true, the pure and the beautiful, give truth to our words, sincerity to our thoughts, and courage to our deeds. May we make this day beautiful with loyalty and dedication to the highest. When problems seem insurmountable, when our fondest dreams sink into the sands of futility, may we labor on, confident and certain, knowing that when we are co-laborers with You that even in hopes deferred, the joy of sure victory will inevitably come.

We bring our prayer to our God ever ready to answer us when we pray in keeping with Your knowledge of our needs. Amen

Whereas, the Walterboro High School Band of Blue consists of 255 members and, under the direction of Bill Young (program director for the past nineteen years), has won the South Carolina State AAAA Marching Championships in 1982, 1986, 1989, 1990, and 1991 and is the current 1992 state champion; and

Whereas, the band performed for President Carter's inaugural in 1977, for Governor Riley's inaugural parade in 1983, and for Governor Campbell's inaugural parades in 1987 and 1991; and

Whereas, this is an outstanding and highly deserving group of young musicians, and all the citizens of South Carolina are extremely proud that they have been selected to represent this State in such a prestigious manner. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, congratulates the Walterboro High School Band of Blue of Colleton County on the invitation it has received to march in the 1994 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California.
