A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE Pendleton HIGH SCHOOL 
MARCHING BAND, DIRECTORS, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A REMARKABLE SEASON AND TO 
CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2024 SOUTH CAROLINA BAND DIRECTORS 
ASSOCIATION CLASS AA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, the House of 
Representatives is pleased to learn that Pendleton High School Pride of 
Pendleton Marching Band of Anderson County won the state competition held on 
October 19, 2024, at Blythewood High School. With missing instructional time 
and the state championships being a week earlier due to Hurricane Helene, the 
band defeated the odds and continued their winning streak; and

Whereas, the band's 
2024 production in the South Carolina Band Directors Association's (SCBDA) 
state competition, entitled "Paper Moon," used visual layering effects and 
paper moon props, which was inspired by traditional pop-up books, and the 
performers took the audience on a journey of pursuit and purpose through the 
lens of childlike wonder and curiosity; and

Whereas, the Pride of 
Pendleton won all three awards: High School, High Visual, and High Overall 
Effect, sweeping the class and winning with a score of 92.35, their highest 
score in twenty years. The band took home their sixth state championship in a 
row and tenth in school history; and

Whereas, the House of 
Representatives values the dedication that the Pride of Pendleton band has 
brought to the school and community and looks forward to their future 
achievements. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize 
and honor the Pendleton High School marching band, directors, and school 
officials for a remarkable season and congratulate the for winning the 2024 
South Carolina Band Directors Association Class AA State Championship Title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Principal Matthew Moore and Band Director Trey Ferrell.
