Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 11

 

Congratulating the members of the Procter R. Hug High School Marching Band and Dance Team for their participation in the Inaugural Parade for the President of the United States.

 

Whereas,  The members of the 69th Session of the Nevada Legislature and the residents of the State of Nevada were filled with pride upon learning that the Procter R. Hug High School Marching Band and Dance Team participated in the Inaugural Parade for the President of the United States; and


Whereas,  With the full support of the parents, community, private parties, Harrah's Hotel and Casino (Procter R. Hug High School's "Partners in Education") and Reno Air, a dream was fulfilled for over 100 students who marched proudly in Washington, D.C., as the official representatives of the State of Nevada; and

Whereas, This was the first Northern Nevada band to receive such a prestigious invitation, and credit must be given to the band's Director, Gerald Willis, who conceived the idea and pursued this dream with enthusiasm and determination; and

Whereas, While in Washington, D.C., the students found time during their week-long visit to do extensive sight-seeing, including taking tours of the White House and Congress, greeting Governor Bob Miller at Union Square, and visiting Ford's Theatre, where President Lincoln was assassinated, Mount Vernon, several of the Smithsonian Institution museums, the Botanical Gardens, the National Postal Museum, National Geographic, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Iwo Jima Marine, Korean and Vietnam Memorials and Arlington National Cemetery; now, therefore, be it
