This bill is a House Resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly that welcomes Mark Leavens, the President of the Tournament of Roses Association, during his visit to the Town of Clover. The visit is intended to support the Clover High School Pride of Clover Marching Band, which has been invited to perform in the 137th Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, California, on January 1, 2026. This marks a significant achievement as the band is only the seventh from South Carolina to participate in this prestigious event and the first in two decades.
The resolution expresses appreciation for the opportunity provided to the Clover High School students and acknowledges the importance of the Rose Bowl Parade in fostering community spirit and tradition, especially in light of recent challenges faced by the Pasadena area. It commends Mr. and Mrs. Leavens for their volunteer efforts and support of the band, and it concludes with a directive to present a copy of the resolution to Mark Leavens.
