Bill > LR59

This resolution recognizes the Wilber-Clatonia Alumni Band on United States National Marching Band Day (March 4, 2025), highlighting the band's significant cultural contributions. Founded in 1985, the band has grown from 90 to over 200 members, with an age range spanning from 18 to 85 years old (with the oldest member being June Kucera). The band is notable for promoting Czech heritage through its performances, including playing polka music and wearing traditional Czech clothing like Kroj and Czech vests. The band has performed at various events across Nebraska, South Dakota, and Kansas, focusing on preserving Czech cultural music and traditions through marching in parades and presenting concerts. The Nebraska Legislature formally acknowledges the band's dedication and commitment to cultural preservation, and will send an official copy of the resolution to the Wilber-Clatonia Alumni Band as a gesture of recognition and appreciation.
