LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring the Baldwinsville Marching Band upon the
occasion of capturing the New York State Field Band Competition Champi-
onship

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
commend those illustrious organizations of distinguished purpose that
have been committed to the pursuit of excellence and that bring great
pride to the citizens of our great State; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, it is the intent of this Legislative Body to honor
the Baldwinsville Marching Band upon the occasion of winning the New
York State Field Band Competition Championship; and
WHEREAS, To bring home a New York State Championship, as the 2009
Baldwinsville Marching Band did, is a remarkable achievement; Baldwins-
ville beat out five other high schools to secure its sixth New York
State championship with a first place finish in the Large School Divi-
sion Ill Class of the New York State Field Band Conference Competition;
and
WHEREAS, With its Pearl Harbor themed program and using music from
composers Jay Bocook and Steven Reineke, Baldwinsville not only achieved
competitive success, but also respectfully paid tribute to those
involved in Pearl Harbor and all men and women of the United States
Armed Services; and
WHEREAS, No marching band, no matter how gifted one or a handful of
its members may be, can succeed without outstanding talent throughout
its entire roster; such was the case for the 2009 Baldwinsville Marching
Band whose members include: Emily Gell, Dan Mullarney, Michelle Chapman,
Nicole Damon, Kaitlyn Dodge, Erin Knaul, Ashley Mellen, Gabby Piriano,
Natalie Redmore, Lindsay Rosillo, Carina Scalise, Taylor Shane, Lona

and

great part to the efforts of Director Casey Vanderstouw and his
outstanding staff members who include: Nick Farrell, Megan Cullen, Karen
Watt, Kris Dubois, Randall Bennett, Shawn Westover, Ashley Trudell, Tori
Bean, Mary DeMauro, Ken Magara, Adam LeBeau, Mike Kearney, Merit Linde-
man, Nick Barrata, Robert Bridge, Dan Campbell, Kelly Cullen, and Phill
Sterling; the band was also assisted by the never-ending encouragement
and support of friends, family and the community; and

WHEREAS, The 2009 Baldwinsville Marching Band shared noteworthy attri-
butes off the field, as well as in competition; individually and collec-
tively, they constantly exhibited good sportsmanship and scholarship,
thereby demonstrating to themselves and to others that they have an
enviable combination of talent and character, which reflects favorably
upon their school and their community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate the Baldwinsville Marching Band and Director Casey Vander-
stouw upon the occasion of capturing the New York State Field Band
Competition Championship; and be it further
RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the members of the 2009 Baldwinsville Marching Band and
Director Casey Vanderstouw and his staff.
