	WHEREAS, The Tyler Junior College Apache Band and Apache
	Belles drill team are celebrating their 75th anniversary during the
	2022-2023 academic year; and
	WHEREAS, Both established in 1947, the Apache Belles and the
	Apache Band have dazzled audiences across the state and nation as
	well as around the world; their talents have been showcased during
	the Super Bowl VI and XII halftime shows, and for many years, they
	were the official halftime entertainment for the Dallas Cowboys
	franchise, performing at nationally televised football games and
	playoff games; today, the groups benefit from the able leadership
	of Apache Belles director Jasilyn Schaefer and Apache Band director
	Jeremy Strickland; and
	WHEREAS, The Apache Belles made their debut at a TJC football
	game in 1947 and quickly became a mainstay at school sporting
	events; the members of the dance team have met a number of U.S.
	presidents, including Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bill
	Clinton, and they have participated in special events in Mexico,
	Costa Rica, Belize, Honduras, and China; they have also performed
	for members of the military stationed in Japan, South Korea,
	Austria, Germany, and Hawaii; and
	WHEREAS, The Apache Band has stirred the hearts of TJC fans
	for 75 years, performing exciting music and creative marching drill
	routines at school football games as well as at major sporting
	events, such as the Super Bowl and the Cotton Bowl; the band's
	members have also served as ambassadors for TJC and East Texas,
	performing for U.S. presidents and other dignitaries and for U.S.
	troops and their families overseas; the band encompasses a variety
	of exceptional groups, including the Apache Marching Band, a wind
	ensemble and symphonic band, a jazz ensemble, and an indoor
	drumline; and
	WHEREAS, Over the course of the past seven and a half decades,
	members of the Apache Belles and the Apache Band have established a
	well-deserved reputation for excellence, and in so doing, they have
	served as impressive ambassadors for Tyler Junior College and the
	Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate the Tyler Junior College Apache
	Band and Apache Belles on their 75th anniversary and extend to all
	those associated with the groups sincere best wishes for the
	future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the Apache Belles and the Apache Band as an expression
	of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
