A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO DECLARE MAY 7 14, 2017, MUSIC WEEK IN SOUTH CAROLINA, IN COORDINATION WITH NATIONAL MUSIC WEEK, AND TO ENCOURAGE ALL CITIZENS OF THE PALMETTO STATE TO MAKE MUSIC AN IMPORTANT PART OF THEIR LIVES.

Whereas, music is a vital part of the culture of every civilized nation, and the people of the United States are proving themselves to be a great music producing and music loving nation; and

Whereas, because it is incumbent upon all of us to join together to advance the cause of music, May 7 14, 2017, will mark the ninety fourth annual observance of National Music Week, which this year bears the theme of “Music: an Adventure for Life”; and

Whereas, music is an art and a harmonious force worthy of the extension of its influence among nations, groups, and individuals; and

Whereas, the pursuit of music, whether through studying, composing, listening, performing, or other participation, gives rich experience to human life; and

Whereas, through National Music Week, the National Federation of Music Clubs provides an opportunity for individual musical lovers in this great country, as well as religious, educational, and civic groups, to join in promoting the pleasure to be gained from making, and otherwise engaging in, music. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, declare May 7 14, 2017, Music Week in South Carolina, in coordination with National Music Week, and encourage all citizens of the Palmetto State to make music an important part of their lives.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the South Carolina Federation of Music Clubs.
