R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Pittsburg Middle School band has captured the 
sweepstakes award in the 2003 University Interscholastic League 
(UIL) band competition, an impressive feat that is a source of great 
pride to their school and community; and
	WHEREAS, This gifted musical ensemble won Division I ratings 
in both the concert and sight-reading contests with their 
performance on April 9, an achievement that was matched by only 
seven other bands in this year's event; and

statewide competition is attributable to both the expert guidance 
of band director Randy Whatley and the outstanding efforts of its 
many talented musicians, all of whom merit special praise and 
recognition for their exceptional skill, dedication, and drive; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate the Pittsburg Middle School band on 
winning the sweepstakes award in the 2003 University 
Interscholastic League music competition and extend to the members

prepared for the Pittsburg Middle School band as an expression of 
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
