A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE Ninety Six High School marching band, Directors, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A REMARKABLE SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2024 South Carolina Band Directors Association CLASS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the fifty-one members of the Ninety Six marching band from grades seven to twelve of Greenwood County won the state competition. With more than nine hours of rehearsal each week, the band performs for Friday night football games and Saturday competitions, competing above the school classification in local competition; and

Whereas, as winners of the Chesnee Eagle Classic, the band's 2024 production in the South Carolina Band Directors Association's (SCBDA) state competition, entitled "Caged," portrayed band members escaping from confinement through music, drill design, dance, symbolism, and body visuals; and

Whereas, the Ninety Six Wildcats won all three caption awards: High Music, High Visual, and High Overall Effect. With twelve state championships since 1973, the Wildcats hold the state record for the most Class A state championships, including the last three titles; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives values the pride that the Ninety Six band has brought to the school and community and looks forward to their achievements in the days to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Ninety Six High School marching band, directors, and school officials for a remarkable season and congratulate them for winning the 2024 South Carolina Band Directors Association Class A State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Fitz Sprowl and Band Director David Vickery.
