The bill, H. 3692, is a House Resolution recognizing and honoring the Ninety Six High School marching band for their outstanding achievements during the 2024 season, culminating in their victory at the South Carolina Band Directors Association Class A State Championship. The resolution highlights the dedication of the fifty-one band members, who rehearse over nine hours each week, and their impressive performance at various competitions, including the Chesnee Eagle Classic. The band’s production, titled "Caged," creatively depicted themes of escape through music and visual elements, leading them to win all three caption awards: High Music, High Visual, and High Overall Effect.
The resolution acknowledges the band's significant accomplishments, including their record of twelve state championships since 1973, and emphasizes the pride they have brought to their school and community. It concludes with a commitment to present a copy of the resolution to Principal Fitz Sprowl and Band Director David Vickery, celebrating the band's remarkable season and their contributions to the arts in South Carolina.
