This resolution congratulates the Greendale High School Marching Band on winning the Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) State Marching Band Championship for the 20th year in a row. The WSMA is an organization that oversees music competitions for schools in Wisconsin. The resolution highlights the band's winning performance, titled "Snow Angel," which included music from popular sources like Disney's Frozen II and Beyoncé, and also earned them awards for Best Music, Best Visuals, and Best Percussion. It emphasizes the remarkable achievement of winning 20 consecutive championships, noting that current band members were not alive the last time the band lost. The resolution also mentions the band's upcoming participation in the Bands of America Grand National Championships and their historic distinction of being the first high school band to perform twice in both the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Tournament of Roses Parade within a decade. Furthermore, it acknowledges the significant involvement of nearly 200 students, representing about 20 percent of the school's student body, the dedication of band director Tom Reifenberg, and the band's commitment to community service through volunteer work.
