Mayor proclaims Saturday Pride of Plymouth Day
PLYMOUTH – The whole city will enter into the celebration today as Plymouth Mayor Mark Senter has proclaimed the day “Pride of Plymouth” day.
“Its a proud day for the city,” said Senter in issuing the proclamation. “The band has worked awfully hard over the years and it's good to see that hard work rewarded.”
For the first time in history the Pride of Plymouth marching band will take their show to the state finals this afternoon with a shot at bringing home the proud distinction of being one of the state's best marching bands.
Senter's family has roots in the Plymouth band as well.
“My son (Riley) was in the band for three years and (wife) Leanne was involved with the guard for about 10 years,” he said. “There's a lot of people who've been involved with the program over the years and this means a lot to everybody in the city.
“I really can't say enough about all the parents and volunteers that are so involved. They're there every Friday, travel around every Saturday, at every performance working hard to help out and get everything set up, let alone the great leadership and support of the school.”
The proclamation reads;
WHEREAS, the Pride of Plymouth Marching Band has strived for excellence for many years in contests, competition and half-time programs; and
WHEREAS, the many students, drum majors, directors, teachers, volunteers and parents are to be commended for their time and energy spent to bring the art of marching music to the Plymouth area; and
WHEREAS, the hundreds of hours marching on the hot blacktop in mid-August during band camp have made the cool Saturday evening competitions in late October all worthwhile; and
WHEREAS, the 117 students involved in “Reflections of Freedom” have made an impact on this community by advancing to the Indiana State School Music Association Finals for the first time in school history; and
WHEREAS, It is fitting and appropriate that the citizens of this community recognize the marching band’s vital contribution to the area by providing outstanding music and marching, past and present;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, MARK SENTER, MAYOR OF PLYMOUTH on behalf of the City Council and the citizens of Plymouth, do hereby proclaim Saturday, October 30, 2010 as
“Pride of Plymouth Day” and urge all citizens to encourage, support and cheer-on The Plymouth Marching Band as they head off to Lucas Oil Stadium! Let’s bring home another state championship!
