TO CONGRATULATE THE DANIEL HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND, director, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS ON AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO HONOR THEM FOR WINNING THE SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS 3a marching band STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is proud to recognize the Daniel High School marching band for winning the South Carolina Class 3A state championship on October 29, 2022 at Westwood High School in Blythewood; and

Whereas, with an exceptional season overall, the marching band members have displayed outstanding talent and commitment to excellence during every practice and show; and

Whereas, the band performed at several games and three competitions leading up to the state championship. Wins at Wando High School, Pendleton High School, and Belton-Honea Path High School propelled the band to the state championship; and

Whereas, at the state championship, the band scored 91.55 points out of 100; and

Whereas, the Daniel High School marching band has flourished under the leadership and guidance of Director Chaz Paxton, who led the band to win state in his first year, in 2019, as well; and

Whereas, the freshmen who won state in 2019 were seniors during this year's season. Director Paxton calls them a "catalyst" for changing the program for the better and credits their leadership as vital to this victory; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate appreciate the pride and recognition that the Daniel High School marching band has brought to its school and community and look forward to a future filled with further accomplishments by the band and its talented musicians. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate the Daniel High School marching band, director, and school officials on an outstanding season and honor them for winning the South Carolina Class 3A marching band state championship.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Daniel High School marching band members, Director Chaz Paxton, and Principal Gary Culler.
