This legislative commemoration honors the senior class of the Sioux Falls Lincoln High School Patriots Marching Band for their significant achievements. The Class of 2025 has notably contributed to the band's legacy by leading the Patriots to compete in the Bands of America Super Regional Finals for four consecutive years. Their impressive performances include reaching the championship finals with various field shows, such as "Queen's Gambit" in 2021, "Houdini Un-Chained" in 2022, "Fabric of Time" in 2023, and "The Big Apple" in 2024. Additionally, the band has been selected to perform in the prestigious Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on November 28, 2024.

The commemoration recognizes the dedication and talent of the senior class, which has played a crucial role in maintaining the Sioux Falls Lincoln High School Patriots Marching Band's status as the premier marching band in South Dakota. The resolution reflects the pride and appreciation of the One Hundredth Legislature of the State of South Dakota for the accomplishments of these students and their contribution to the band's historic tradition.
