The Indiana General Assembly honors the Marching Pride of Lawrence Township, a combined high school marching band established in 2014 composed of musicians from Lawrence Central and Lawrence North High Schools.

The band competes at both the Indiana State School Music Association and Bands of America national levels under the direction of Randy Greenwell, Glen Hauger, Matthew James, and Tom Wallis.

The Tournament of Roses Committee selected the Marching Pride of Lawrence Township as one of 13 national high school marching bands to participate in the 2017 Tournament of Roses Parade on January 2, 2017.

The band performed before more than 700,000 spectators and 81 million television viewers worldwide at the parade.

The House of Representatives transmits a copy of this resolution to each band member, the four directors, Lawrence Central High School Principal Rocco Valadez, Lawrence North High School Principal Brett Crousore, and Superintendent Dr. Shawn A. Smith.
