SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 632
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the members of Austin High School's Ballet Folklórico |
|
|
on the occasion of the program's 15th rebirth anniversary, which |
|
|
is being celebrated at its Gran Show de Primavera on May 3, |
|
|
2019; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ballet Folklórico is a for-credit, self-funded |
|
|
program and working dance company at Austin High School; the |
|
|
group produces about 20 shows during the school year, and the |
|
|
dancers close out each year with the annual Gran Show de |
|
|
Primavera; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This year is Ballet Folklórico's 15th anniversary |
|
|
of the program's rebirth because the company lost sponsorship in |
|
|
the 1990s; it was reorganized by Maura Patricia Masters, who was |
|
|
hired in 2003 and continues to direct the program today; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ballet Folklórico succeeds through the efforts of |
|
|
every dancer and the guidance of chief instructor and |
|
|
choreographer Victoria Carr; a student officer corps helps lead |
|
|
the group and assists in every aspect of the organization, from |
|
|
instruction to purchasing costumes and other items; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The talented dancers of Ballet Folklórico perform |
|
|
throughout the greater Austin community and compete at events |
|
|
around the state; their 2019 Gran Show de Primavera, Nuestra |
|
|
Historia, will celebrate both the history of the dance company |
|
|
and the history of Mexico; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend all associated with Ballet |
|
|
Folklórico at Austin High School for promoting cultural and |
|
|
performing arts in their community and extend to them best wishes |
|
|
for a memorable 15th anniversary Gran Show de Primavera; and, be |
|
|
it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for the |
|
|
dance company as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
