   05/09/12  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 15)

TO CONGRATULATE THE CLOVER HIGH SCHOOL CHORALIERS ON CAPTURING CLASS AAAA TOP HONORS IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE CHORAL FESTIVAL.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the Clover High School Choraliers won the Class AAAA crown in the South Carolina State Choral Festival, held at Columbia's St. Andrews Baptist Church on Friday, March 23, 2012; and

Whereas, the Blue Eagles set the tempo and had it all their own way by the time judges were ready to award the first-place trophy; and

Whereas, under the expert leadership of Choral Director Jay Forrest, the Clover singers, more than one hundred strong, walked off the stage with their eighth state championship in the past ten years, including three consecutive titles; and

Whereas, the singers wowed the audience with their renditions of Eric Whitaker's "Sleep," performed a cappella, and Robert DeCormier's "Let Me Fly." In addition, when presented with an original piece they had not seen, they showed off the excellence of their sight-singing skills; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in adding its collective applause to the crescendo of praise afforded to the Clover High School Choraliers on their receiving this signal honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the Clover High School Choraliers on capturing Class AAAA top honors in the South Carolina State Choral Festival.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Mark Hopkins and Choral Director Jay Forrest of Clover High School.
