Whereas, the Walterboro High School Band of Blue of Colleton County recently received an invitation to march in the 1994 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California; and

Whereas, the band will be representing the State of South Carolina and the southeastern United States on New Year's Day, 1994, on national television; and

Whereas, no marching band from the Palmetto State has been invited to participate in this prestigious event since 1969; and

Whereas, participation will be expensive, but the band is already working diligently to raise the total $250,000 needed to make the trip; and

Whereas, the Walterboro High 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 Senate:

That the Senate 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.

Be it further resolved that the citizens and businesses of South Carolina are strongly encouraged to assist the band's fundraising efforts for the purpose of accepting the invitation and representing the State.
