Whereas, the James F. Byrnes High School marching band captured the 2006 South Carolina AAAA State Marching Band Championship; and

Whereas, this 2006 championship marks the tenth such win for the James F.

Whereas, the achievements of the Byrnes marching band this year show that Head Band Director C. Phillip McIntyre and his assistant directors, Chris Moss, Matthew Wofford, Craig Davis, Jessica Davis, Dan Sears, and Clark Murff, are among the finest band directors in South Carolina; and

Whereas, the parents, band boosters, school administrators, and officials of Spartanburg County School District Five have provided the instruction, support, and encouragement necessary to attain such a consistent level of high achievement; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in according special recognition to such an outstanding group of young musicians. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
