STATEHOUSE — A resolution authored by State Sens. Brian Buchanan (R-Lebanon) and Spencer Deery (R-West Lafayette) that congratulates the Montgomery County United Marching Band and Guard passed the Senate on Tuesday.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 26 recognizes and congratulates the band for its work in recent years.
The band was formed in 2017 and is comprised of students, faculty and supporters from Crawfordsville, North Montgomery and South Montgomery schools.
“I am honored to represent these hardworking students and faculty who have made this marching band a great symbol of Montgomery County,” Buchanan said. “The participants work hard year-round, and I am pleased to recognize their efforts in the Senate.”
In 2021 and 2022, the Montgomery County United Winter Winds ensemble earned first place at the Indiana Percussion Association’s State Finals. In 2023, the band also participated in the AES 500 Festival Parade in Indianapolis.
“Seeing students from across Montgomery County working together toward a common goal is a great example of one of the things I love about the county,” Deery said. “The students and faculty at these schools should be proud they are represented by this band and I am happy to honor them.”
